Appears in 304 hymnals First Line: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel: for He hath visited and redeemed His people; 2 And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us: in the house of His servant David; 3 As He spake by the mouth of His holy Prophets: which have been since the world began; 4 That we should be saved from our enemies: and from the hands of all that hate us; 5 To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers: and to remember His holy Covenant; 6 To perform the oath which He sware to our fore-father Abraham: that He would give us; 7 That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies: might serve Him without fear; 8 In holiness and righteousness before Him: all the days of our life. 9 And thou, Child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest: for those shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways: 10 To give knowledge of salvation unto His people: for the remission of their sins. 11 Through the tender mercy of our God: whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us; 12 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death: and to guide our feet into the way of peace. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.
