Almighty and Everlasting God, by
whose grace Elizabeth and Zechariah, parents of the forerunner of your Son,
Christ our Lord, were righteous before you and walked blameless in all your
commandments: Grant, we pray, that, after their example , we may so faithfully
serve you in this life that at the last
we may receive the crown of righteousness
which you, the righteous judge , will give
to all those who truly love you ; through the same Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
forever. Amen
68 “Blessed be the Lord God of
Israel,
for he has visited and redeemed his people
69 and has raised up a horn of
salvation for us
in the house of his servant David,
70 as he spoke by the mouth of
his holy prophets from of old,
76 And you, child, will be called
the prophet of the Most High;
for you will go before the Lord to prepare
his ways,
77 to give knowledge of salvation
to his people
in the forgiveness of their sins,
78 because of the tender mercy of
our God,
whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on
high
79 to give light to those who sit
in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
