Zechariahs canticle
Strophe One
1. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
2. for He has looked favorably on his people
3. and He has redeemed them.
"Una and the Lion" by Briton Rivière (1840-1920).
Strophe Two
1. He has raised up a mighty savior for us in the house of his servant David
2. as He spoke through the mouth of His holy prophets from of old
3. that we would be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us
Strophe Three
1. Thus he has shown the mercy (Aramaic - "Khanan" - root of the name 'Yukhanan' (John)) promised to our ancestors
2. and has remembered (Hebrew - "Zachar", root of the name Zechariah) his holy covenant
3. the oath (Hebrew - "Shaba", root of the name Elishaba (Elizabeth)) that he swore to our ancestor Abraham.
Strophe Four
1. to grant us that we
2. being rescued from the hands of our enemies
3. might serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness before him all our days
Strophe Five
1. And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High
2. for you will go before the Lord
3. to prepare His ways
Strophe Six
1. to give knowledge of salvation to his people
2. by the forgiveness of their sins
3. by the tender mercy of our God
Strophe Seven
1. The dawn from on high will break upon us
2. to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death
3. to guide our feet into the way of peace [2]
We can see from Strophe three that it was divinely planned that Abba would present
his mercy, he would keep his promise to Abraham and his people, to send his
Virgin Queen with his holy covenant.
Three in one.
