The oath which He sworeunto Abraham our father, *that He would grant to us,

That being freed from thehand of our enemies, * weshould serve Him withoutfear,

In holiness and justicebefore Him, * all our days.

And thou, child, shalt becalled a prophet of theMost High, * for thou shaltgo before the face of theLord to prepare His ways.

To give knowledge ofsalvation to His people *through the forgiveness oftheir sins;

In the merciful heart ofour God, * by which Hehath visited us, as theDayspring from on high,

To enlighten them thatsit in darkness and in theshadow of death, * to guideour feet into the way ofpeace.
