Herre nw låter tu tin tienare fara j frid
The Song of Simeon
A prayer of departure and thanksgiving for the revelation of God's salvation to all nations.
Lord, now you let your servant go in peace, just as you promised, because my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared for all people: a light to enlighten the nations and the glory of your people Israel. Glory be, etc.1
Read the original Latin
HErre nw låter tu tin tienare fara j frid/ epter som tu sagt haffuer/ Forty mijn ögon haffua seedt tina saligheet/ huilka tu bereedt haffuer for allo folke/ Itt liws til hedninganes vplysning/ oc titt folk Israel til prijs/ Äära wari rc
Notes
- 1 ↩The source breaks off with an abbreviated “etc.” after “Glory be,” apparently signaling the familiar continuation of the doxology; no missing words have been supplied.

Never lose the rhythm again
Chosen Portion delivers your morning, midday and night office to your phone — the Hours, without the bells.
Chosen Portion is a modern Book of Hours: it turns the fixed-hour structure this collection preserves into scheduled, tappable daily prayer on your phone.
- Three daily prayer moments scheduled around your real calendar, not a monastery's
- Psalms and historic prayers sequenced for you — no page-flipping or decision fatigue
- A visible streak of completed offices, so the rhythm compounds instead of collapsing
