# Verified against Divinum Officium (Tridentine 1906 run, 2026-08-25 —
# Monastic Compline doesn't have this canticle at all; it's added from the
# Tridentine 1906 form by explicit choice). The antiphon that frames it
# ("Salva nos") is a separate proper — see nunc-dimittis-antiphon.yml.

    Nunc dimíttis ✠ servum tuum, Dómine, * secúndum verbum tuum in pace:
    Quia vidérunt óculi mei * salutáre tuum,
    Quod parásti * ante fáciem ómnium populórum,
    Lumen ad revelatiónem géntium, * et glóriam plebis tuæ Israël.
    V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
    R. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

    Now ✠ thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, * according to thy word in peace;
    Because my eyes have seen * thy salvation,
    Which thou hast prepared * before the face of all peoples:
    A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, * and the glory of thy people Israel.
    V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
    R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
