BLESSED be the Lord God of
Israel for he hath visited, and redeemed his people;
And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us: in the house of his servant David;
As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets: which have been since the world began;
That we should be saved from our enemies and from the hands of all that hate us;
To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers and to remember his holy Covenant;
