¶1
As I praise the memory of your Prophet I entreat the grace of the Spirit to work with me as I cry aloud with your mediation: Let us sing to our Redeemer and God.
¶2
Your life being found blameless was adorned with the vestment of priesthood and the light-bearing beams of prophecy, blessed Saint who spoke from God.
¶3
You were shown, Zachary, your head resplendent with the priestly headband of the Law, and as a revealer of sacred mysteries you cried aloud: Let us sing to our Redeemer and God.
¶4
Robed like Aaron in the priestly tunic you received the Maiden sprung from Jesse’s root, who bore the Redeemer in her womb.
