An Angel (Contralto):
  Arise, and take the young Child and his mother,
and go into the land of Israel,
for they are dead which sought the young Child's life,
and go and dwell in Nazareth.

  I will pour my spirit upon thy seed
and my blessing upon thine offspring.
I will pour my spirit upon thy seed
and my blessing upon thine offspring.
