  • 12 Benediction
    In the House of the Lord Lesson #12 – Homework THE SONG OF SIMEON In peace, Lord, you let your servant now depart according to your word. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared for ev’ry people, a light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory, the glory of your people Israel. In Luke 2, Simeon holds the eight-day old Savior of the world in his arms. He has seen the Lord’s salvation with his very own eyes. Like Simeon, at the sacrament of Holy Communion, we have been in the presence of the Son of God, our Savior. The Holy Spirit enabled Simeon to recognize that the infant carried in Mary’s arms was the Lord of heaven and heaven, hidden in humble flesh. Like Simeon, the Holy Spirit has opened our eyes of faith to recognize that the body and blood of our Lord is hidden in the humble bread and wine of the Lord’s Supper. “The Song of Simeon” is also called the “Nunc Dimittis,” which in Latin means “Now you dismiss.” At the end of the Divine Service, the Lord allows us to go in peace, having not only seeing, but also tasting our Lord. Since the fourth century, the Christian Church has sung the Nunc Dimittis as the last prayer in the Service of Evening Prayer. Since the sixteenth century, the Nunc Dimittis has also been sun immediately following Holy Communion. This is a distinctively Lutheran contribution to the Divine Service. THANK THE LORD Thank the Lord and sing his praise.

Holy Communion Practice The Lord’s Supper is celebrated at this congregation in the confession and glad confidence that, as He says, our Lord gives into our mouths not only bread and wine, but His very Body and Blood to eat and to drink for the forgiveness of sins and to strengthen our union with Him and with one another. In preparation for receiving this blessed Sacrament, you may refer to Martin Luther’s “Christian Questions with Their Answers” found on pages 329-330 in LSB.
