John the Baptist was great in your sight,
and many rejoiced at his birth,
he was born to announce
what you would do.
You made your home among mortals,
dwelt with them to be your peoples.
In Jesus you laid a foundation stone,
a tested stone, a precious cornerstone.
Lead us in his truth, O God, teach us,
for you are the God of our salvation.
