Luke 1 : 68 - 79
68 | "Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited and redeemed His people, |
69 | And has raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of His servant David, |
70 | As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets, Who have been since the world began, |
71 | That we should be saved from our enemies And from the hand of all who hate us, |
72 | To perform the mercy promised to our fathers And to remember His holy covenant, |
73 | The oath which He swore to our father Abraham: |
74 | To grant us that we, Being delivered from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear, |
75 | In holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life. |
76 | "And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways, |
77 | To give knowledge of salvation to His people By the remission of their sins, |
78 | Through the tender mercy of our God, With which the Dayspring from on high has visited us; |
79 | To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the way of peace." |
