Luke 1:67-79

⁶⁷Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,

⁶⁸Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and redeemed his people,

⁶⁹And hath raised vp the horne of saluation vnto vs, in the house of his seruant Dauid,

⁷⁰As he spake by ye mouth of his holy Prophets, which were since the world began, saying,

⁷¹That he would sende vs deliuerance from our enemies, and from the hands of all that hate vs,

⁷²That he might shewe mercie towards our fathers, and remember his holy couenant,

⁷³And the othe which he sware to our father Abraham.

⁷⁴Which was, that he would graunt vnto vs, that we being deliuered out of the handes of our enemies, should serue him without feare,

⁷⁵All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him.

⁷⁶And thou, babe, shalt be called the Prophet of the most High: for thou shalt goe before the face of the Lord, to prepare his waies,

⁷⁷And to giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people, by the remission of their sinnes,

⁷⁸Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spring from an hie hath visited vs,

⁷⁹To giue light to them that sit in darknes, and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feete into the way of peace.
