 R. Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.

''Ant. ''I am the resurrection.

lessed be the Lord, God of Israel;


 * because He hath visited and

wrought the redemption of His people.

And He hath raised up for us a horn of salvation * in the house of David His servant.

As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, * who are of old.

Deliverance from our enemies,* and from the hand of all who hate us.

To perform mercy to our fathers: * and to remember His holy covenant.

The oath which He swore, to Abraham, our father, * that He would grant to us.

That being delivered from the hand of our enemies,* we may serve Him without fear,

In holiness and justice before Him,* all our days.
