Luke 1:67–79

⁶⁷And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and did prophesy, saying, ⁶⁸‘Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, Because He did look upon, And wrought redemption for His people, ⁶⁹And did raise an horn of salvation to us, In the house of David His servant, ⁷⁰As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, Which have been from the age; ⁷¹Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us, ⁷²To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant, ⁷³An oath that He sware to Abraham our father, ⁷⁴To give to us, without fear, Out of the hand of our enemies having been delivered, ⁷⁵To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life. ⁷⁶And thou, child, Prophet of the Highest Shalt thou be called; For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, To prepare His ways. ⁷⁷To give knowledge of salvation to His people In remission of their sins, ⁷⁸Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us, ⁷⁹To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.’
