Zachariah’s Sonnet

Gospel: Lk 1:67-79
https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/122424.cfm

Blessed be the Lord who saves the captive,
A savior brought from the line of David.
Prophets spoke the end of the combative;
A promise alive and mercy fated.
Freedom to worship God all of our days.
My son will prophecy for the Most High.
He prepares the way for the one who saves.
Compassion, the Lord will never deny.
A light will dispel the darkest of night
To fill the whole earth with peaceful delight.
