Luke 1:68–79

⁶⁸Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;

For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,

⁶⁹And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us

In the house of his servant David

⁷⁰(As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old),

⁷¹Salvation from our enemies,

and from the hand of all that hate us;

⁷²To show mercy towards our fathers,

And to remember his holy covenant;

⁷³The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father,

⁷⁴To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies

Should serve him without fear,

⁷⁵In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

⁷⁶Yea and thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High:

For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways;

⁷⁷To give knowledge of salvation unto his people

In the remission of their sins,

⁷⁸Because of the tender mercy of our God,

Whereby the dayspring from on high shall visit us,

⁷⁹To shine upon them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death;

To guide our feet into the way of peace.
