BENEDICTUS.

Luke i. 68.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel: for He hath visited and redeemed His people;

And hath raised up a horn of 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;

To perform the oath which He sware to our forefather Abraham: that He would grant us;

That we being delivered out of the hands of our enemies might serve Him without fear;

In holiness and righteousness before Him: all the days of our life.
