The Song of Simeon   Nunc dimittis

Luke 2:29‑32

Lord, you now have set your servant free *   
to go in peace as you have promised;
For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, *   
whom you have prepared for all the world to see:
A Light to enlighten the nations, *   
and the glory of your 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

Officiant and People together, all standing

I believe in God, the Father almighty,   
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.   
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit      
and born of the Virgin Mary.   
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,      
was crucified, died, and was buried.   
He descended to the dead.   
On the third day he rose again.   
He ascended into heaven,      
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.   
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,   
the holy catholic Church,   
the communion of saints,   
the forgiveness of sins,   
the resurrection of the body,   
and the life everlasting.  Amen.
