Guide Our Feet Into Peace

He has raised up for us
a mighty savior,
born of the house of his
servant David.

Through his holy prophets
he promised of old
that he would save us
from our enemies,
from the hands of all
who hate us.

He promised to show mercy
to our fathers
and to remember
his holy covenant.

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.

You, my child, shall be called the
prophet of the Most High;
for you will go before the Lord
to prepare his way,
to give his people
knowledge of salvation
by the forgiveness of their sins.
