St Luke ii. 29.
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 be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world
without end. Amen.
_Or else this Psalm: Except it be on the twelfth day of the month_.
