For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel."

This is the reason why Merlyn has been teaching Wart (throughout the book The Sword and the Stone), and thus he says the nunc dimittis which is the final prayer of compline, which translates"Now you may let your servant go in peace, your word has been fullfilled. My own eyes have seen the salvation you have prepared in the sight of every people: a light to reveal you to the gentiles and the glory of your people Israel" referencing both the fact that he has accomplished his task (so he can go in peace) and that Arthur is a Christ-like figure.
