'''''Nunc dimittis''''' (English: ''now you may dismiss'') are the opening words of Simeon's song of praise on the occasion of the presentation of the infant Jesus in the Temple. After seeing Jesus, Simeon joyfully proclaims that he has seen God's salvation. Simeon had been promised by the Holy Spirit that he would not die without seeing the Saviour. Source of text: Luke 2:29-31; usually followed by the minor doxology ''Gloria Patri''. | '''''Nunc dimittis''''' (English: ''now you may dismiss'') are the opening words of Simeon's song of praise on the occasion of the presentation of the infant Jesus in the Temple.

In the Church of England, the ''Book of Common Prayer'' combined the offices of [[Vespers]] and {{CiteCat|Compline}}, stipulating that both the Magnificat and the Nunc dimittis be sung at Evening Prayer. For this reason, the Nunc dimittis is often found set to music in a pair with the Magnificat (see [[:Category:Evening Canticles]]). In the traditional Roman rite, the Nunc dimittis also forms the Tract for Mass of the Presentation in the season after Septuagesima. | In the Church of England, the ''Book of Common Prayer'' combined the offices of [[Vespers]] and {{CiteCat|Compline}}, stipulating that both the Magnificat and the Nunc dimittis be sung at Evening Prayer.

Nunc dimittis (English: now you may dismiss) are the opening words of Simeon's song of praise on the occasion of the presentation of the infant Jesus in the Temple. After seeing Jesus, Simeon joyfully proclaims that he has seen God's salvation. Simeon had been promised by the Holy Spirit that he would not die without seeing the Saviour. Source of text: Luke 2:29-31; usually followed by the minor doxology Gloria Patri.
In the Church of England, the Book of Common Prayer combined the offices of Vespers and Compline, stipulating that both the Magnificat and the Nunc dimittis be sung at Evening Prayer. For this reason, the Nunc dimittis is often found set to music in a pair with the Magnificat (see Category:Evening Canticles). In the traditional Roman rite, the Nunc dimittis also forms the Tract for Mass of the Presentation in the season after Septuagesima.
