Benedictus Dominus, Deus Israel (Lk 1:76-77)
The Latin:
Et tu puer, prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis :
præíbis enim ante fáciem Dómini paráre vias eíus,
ad dandam sciéntiam salútis plebi eíus
in remissiónem peccatórum eórum.
The English:
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest:
for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:
To give knowledge of salvation to his people,
unto the remission of their sins.
[The prophecy of Zecharias, the father of the Herald.]
