BENEDICTUS

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 724 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BENEDICTUS , the hymn of Zacharias (
Luke
  i. 68 sqq.), so called from the opening word of the Latin version. The hymn has been used in
Christian
 
worship
  since at least the 9th
century
 , and was adopted into the
Anglican
  Order of Morning
Prayer
  from the Roman service of matin-lauds. In the
Prayer
 -Book of 1549 there was no alternative to the Benedictus; it was to be used " throughout the whole year." In 1552 the Jubilate was inserted without any restriction as to how often it should take the place of the Benedictus. Such restriction is clearly implied in the words " except when that (Benedictus) shall happen to be read in the chapter for the day, or for the Gospel on Saint John Baptist's day," which were inserted in 1662. The rubric of 1532 had this curious wording: " And after the Second Lesson shall be used and said, Benedictus in
English
 , as followeth."
The name is also given to a
part
  of the Roman Catholic
mass
  service beginning Benedictus qui vent.
