Canticle of Zechariah
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;
He has come to His people
and set them free. He has raised up
for us a mighty savior, born of the
house of His servant David.
Through His holy prophets
He promised of old that He
would save us from our enemies,
from the hands of all who hate us.
He promised to show mercy to
our fathers and to remember His
holy covenant.
This was the oath He swore to our
father Abraham: to set us free from
the hands of our enemies, free
to worship Him without fear,
holy and righteous in His sight
all the days of our life.
You, my child, shall be called the
prophet of the Most High, for
you will go before the Lord
to prepare His way, to give His
people knowledge of salvation by
the forgiveness of their sins.
In the tender compassion of our God,
the dawn on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness
and the shadow of death, and to guide our
feet into the way of peace.
