which have been since the world began;
4 That we should be saved from our enemies:
and from the hands of all that hate us;
5 To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers:
and to remember His holy Covenant;
6 To perform the oath which He sware to our fore-father Abraham:
that He would give us;
7 That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies:
might serve Him without fear;
8 In holiness and righteousness before Him:
all the days of our life.
9 And thou, Child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest:
for those shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways:
10 To give knowledge of salvation unto His people:
for the remission of their sins.
11 Through the tender mercy of our God:
whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us;
12 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death:
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son:
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be:
world without end. Amen.

Earth, tell it out abroad;
the passover of gladness,

From death to life eternal,
from earth unto the sky,
our Christ hath brought us over,
with hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal
of resurrection light;
and listening to his accents,
may hear, so calm and plain,
his own "All hail!" and, hearing,
may raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heavens be joyful!
Let earth the song begin!
Let the round world keep triumph,
and all that is therein!
Let all things seen and unseen
their notes in gladness blend,
for Christ the Lord hath risen,
our joy that hath no end.
