Refrain:
All I will recount the gracious deeds of the Lord,
the praises of the Most High.
1 Who is this that comes from Edom, ♦
coming from Bozrah, his garments stained crimson?
2 Who is this in glorious apparel, ♦
marching in the greatness of his strength?
3 ‘It is I, who announce that right has won the day, ♦
it is I,’ says the Lord, ‘for I am mighty to save.’
4 Why are your robes all red, O Lord, ♦
and your garments like theirs who tread the winepress?
5 ‘I have trodden the winepress alone, ♦
and from the peoples no one was with me.’
6 I will recount the gracious deeds of the Lord, ♦
the praises of the Most High;
7 All that God has done for us in his mercy, ♦
by his many acts of love.
8 For God said, ‘Surely, they are my people,
my children who will not deal falsely,’ ♦
and he became their Saviour in all their distress.
9 So God redeemed them by his love and pity; ♦
he lifted them up and carried them
through all the days of old.
Isaiah 63.1-3a,7-9
All Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen.
All I will recount the gracious deeds of the Lord,
the praises of the Most High.
