Praise to the lord god of Israel He has paid ransom for us In the house of David he has raised up Salvation for us all He will remember his covenant The oath he has given to us He will protect us from enemies From the hand of those who hate He will show his mercy to us Mercy that shines bright as the sun And in the shadow of death He will guide us on to peace You my child will be called a prophet Of the most high God You will go before the Lord To prepare the way for him He will show his mercy to us Mercy that shines bright as the sun And in the shadow of death We will serve him without fear He will show his mercy to us Mercy that shines bright as the sun And in the shadow of death He will guide us on to peace
