And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;

for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,

to give his people the knowledge of salvation

through the forgiveness of their sins,

to shine on those living in darkness

and in the shadow of death,

to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

“And you, my little son,

will be called the prophet of the Most High,

because you will prepare the way for the Lord.

You will tell his people how to find salvation

through forgiveness of their sins.

to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,

and to guide us to the path of peace.”

To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,

To guide our feet into the way of peace.
