Hymnal: The Hymnal #A54 (1950) First Line: Blessèd be the Lord God of Israel Lyrics: 1 Blessèd be the Lord God of Israel:
for He hath visited and redeemed His people;
2 And hath raised up a might 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 hand 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 hand 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.
13 Glory to the Father, and to the Son:
and to the Holy Ghost:
14 As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be:
world without end. Amen. Topics: Ancient Hymns and Canticles Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Tune Title: [Blessèd be the Lord god of Israel]
