O Root of Jesse!Saints, sinners, unbelievers - all created by the Father for His Glory.BenedictusBlessed 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 Saviour,Born of the house of His servant David.Through His holy prophets He promised of oldThat He would save us from our enemies,From the hands of all who hate us.He promised to show mercy to our fathersAnd 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 sightAll the days of our life.You, My child shall be calledThe prophet of the Most High,For you will go before the Lord to prepare His way, To give his people knowledge of salvationBy the forgiveness of their sins.In the tender compassion of our LordThe dawn from on high shall break upon us,to shine on those who dwell in darknessAnd the shadow of death,And to guide our feet into the way of peace.Glory to the Father,and to the Son,and to the Holy Spirit.As it was in the beginning.is now, and will be forever.Amen.
