 The Song of Simeon   Nunc dimittis

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, *
 * according to thy word;

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, *
 * which thou hast prepared before the face of all people,

To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, *
 * and to be the glory of thy people Israel.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
 * as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever.  Amen.

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
 * maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord;
 * who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
 * born of the Virgin Mary,
 * suffered under Pontius Pilate,
 * was crucified, dead, and buried.
 * He descended into hell.
 * The third day he rose again from the dead.
 * He ascended into heaven,
 * and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty.
 * From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost,
 * the holy catholic Church,
 * the communion of saints,
 * the forgiveness of sins,
 * the resurrection of the body,
 * and the life everlasting.  Amen.
