Benedictus
St. Luke 1. 68
2 And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us * in the house of his servant David;
3 As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets * which have been since the world began;
4 That we should be saved from our enemies, * and from the hands of all that hate us;
5 To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers * and to remember his holy covenant;
6 To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham * that he would give us;
7 That we being delivered out of the hands of our enemies * might serve him without fear;
8 In holiness and righteousness before him, * all the days of our life.
6 To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham * that he would give us;
7 That we being delivered out of the hands of our enemies * might serve him without fear;
8 In holiness and righteousness before him, * all the days of our life.
9 And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest * for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
10 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people * for the remission of their sins;
11 Through the tender mercy of our God; * whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us;
12 To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death * and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
