Latin text

Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel
quia visitavit et fecit redemptionem plebi suae
et erexit cornu salutis nobis
in domo David pueri sui
sicut locutus est per os sanctorum
qui a saeculo sunt prophetarum eius
salutem ex inimicis nostris
et de manu omnium qui oderunt nos
ad faciendam misericordiam cum patribus nostris
et memorari testamenti sui sancti
iusiurandum quod iuravit ad Abraham patrem nostrum
daturum se nobis
ut sine timore de manu inimicorum nostrorum
liberati serviamus illi
in sanctitate et iustitia coram ipso
omnibus diebus nostris
et tu puer propheta Altissimi vocaberis
praeibis enim ante faciem Domini parare vias eius
ad dandam scientiam salutis plebi eius
in remissionem peccatorum eorum
per viscera misericordiae Dei nostri
in quibus visitavit nos oriens ex alto
illuminare his qui in tenebris et in umbra mortis sedent
ad dirigendos pedes nostros in viam pacis
