¶Lyrics / Text

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visited and redeemed, and redeemed his people; And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us: in the house of his servant David. As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets: which have been since the world began; That we should be saved from our enemies: and from the hand of all that hate us; To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers: and to remember his holy Covenant; To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham: that he would give us, that he would give us; That we being delivered out of the hands of our enemies: might serve him without fear; in holiness and righteousness before him: all the days of our life. To give knowledge of salvation unto his people: for the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God: Whereby the dayspring from on high, from on high hath visited us; 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, and is now, and ever shall be world without end. Amen.
