Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
for he has turned to his people and set them free;
he has raised up a deliverer of victorious power
from the house of his servant, David.So he promised age after age
by the mouth of his holy prophets,
that he would deliver us from our enemies,
out of the hands of all who hate us;that he would deal mercifully with our fathers,
calling to mind his solemn covenant.
Such was the oath he swore to our father, Abraham,
to rescue us from the hand of our enemies;that free from fear we might serve him
with a holy worship,
with uprightness of heart in his presence
all the days of our life.And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High,
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
to give knowledge of salvation to his people
in the forgiveness of their sins.For in the tender compassion of our God
the morning sun from heaven will rise upon us,
to shine on those in darkness under the cloud of death,
to guide our feet in the way of peace.
