Praise the Lord, the Cod of Israel,

who shepherds the people and sets them free.

God raises from David's house

a child with power to save.Through the holy prophetsGod promised in ages pastto save us from enemy hands,from the grip of all who hate us.

3. The Lord favored our ancestors

recalling the saaed covenant,the pledge to our ancestor Abraham,to free us from our enemies,

so we might worship without fearand be holy and just all our days.

4. and you, child, will be calledProphet of the Most High,for you will come to preparea pathway for the lordby teaching the people salvationthrough forgiveness of their sin.

5. Out of God's deepest mercya dawn will come from on high,light for those shadowed by death,a guide for our feet on the way to peace.
