"O Promised One of Israel",
Tune: Forest Green
3rd stanza descant, David Willcocks

1) O promised one of Israel by prophets long foretold,Church of the Redeemer, Episcopal
We wait in urgency and hope to see God's will unfold.
The dark of night and cold predawn arouse our anxious fears.
Help us to see the light ahead through trials, doubts, and tears.

LATER (May 2014). Guitar arrangement with slightly different translation of the Benedictus uploaded by YouTube user Maureen Perez. The song of Zachary (Zechariah) is the Benedictus in the Gospel according to St. Luke. We used to sing it at commencement at Benedictine University Springfield, and it's one of my favorites.
