R (68) Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; he has come to his people.
He has raised up for us a mighty savior,
born of the house of his servant David. R
Through his holy prophets he promised of old
that he would save us from our enemies,
from the hands of all who hate us. R
He promised to show mercy to our fathers
and to remember his holy covenant. R
This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham:
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
free to worship him without fear,
holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life. R
Alleluia, alleluia. Open our hearts, O Lord,/ to listen to the words of your Son. Alleluia, alleluia.
- Ask and you will receive. l
