Luke 2: Canticle of Simeon

The list of songs added to Breaking Bread for 2025 by OCP continues with Randall DeBruyn‘s setting of the Nunc dimittis.

It is appropriate to Christmas and Holy Family liturgies, with the text lending itself to funerals as well. It is suitable for children. I’m not sure why it is in this year – it may be another specifically included for the Presentation of the Lord.

The sheet music can be purchased at OCP where the text is in their preview. I would use the preview on the Breaking Bread site of the lyrics on their own but I have found the formatting chops letters off.
