The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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.
gloru be to the Father, and to
the Son, and to he Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and
ever shall be, wolrd without end. Amen.
