charles villiers stanford - benedictus lyrics

blessed be the lord god of israel
because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people
and hath raised up an h+rn of salvation to us
in the house of david his servant
as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets
who are from the beginning:
salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of all that hate us
to perform mercy to our fathers
and to remember his holy testament
the oath, which he swore to abraham our father:
that he would grant to us:
that, being delivered from the hand of our enemies
we may serve him without fear
in holiness and justice before him
all our days
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:
to give knowledge of salvation to his people:
unto the remission of their sins:
through the bowels of the mercy of our god:
in which the orient from on high hath visited us:
to enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death:
to direct our feet into the way of peace
