Lyrics:
Chosen first among the priests
To serve within the temple walls
Zacharias stood in awe
As he heard the angel call
Refrain
Benedictus
Benedictus
Blessed is the Lord
Benedictus
Benedictus
God's incarnate Word
Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God
Will come to raise salvation's horn
God Incarnate, Word made flesh
To a virgin shall be born
Refrain
Christ brings light to sin's dark night
Our Dayspring, Jesus, from on high
Saints and angels sing God's praise
All the earth and heav'ns reply
Refrain
God's incarnate Word
Benedictus
Benedictus
