The Song of Zechariah Benedictus Dominus Deus Blessed are you, Lord, the God of Israel, * you have come to your people and set them free. You have raised up for us a mighty Savior, * born of the house of your servant David. Through your holy prophets you promised of old to save us from our enemies, * from the hands of all who hate us, To show mercy to our forebears, * and to remember your holy covenant. This was the oath you swore to our father Abraham, * to set us free from the hands of our enemies, Free to worship you without fear, * holy and righteous before you, all the days of our life. And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, * for you will go before the Lord to prepare the way, To give God’s people knowledge of salvation * by the forgiveness of their sins. In the tender compassion of our God * the dawn from 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.
