Best Answer

The Nunc dimittis can be found in the book of Luke (2:29-32) in the New Testament. It is a prayer spoken by a man named Simeon on the occasion of the presentation of the infant Jesus by his parents at the Temple in Jerusalem. In the King James translation, it runs thus:

"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;

A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel."
