Luke 1:68-80

[68] Blessed  be the Lord  God  of Israel;  for  he hath visited  and  redeemed  his  people,  [69] And  hath raised up  an horn  of salvation  in  the house  of his  servant  David;  [70] As  he spake  by  the mouth  of his  holy  prophets,  which  have been since  the world began:  [71] That we should be saved  from  enemies,  and  from  the hand  of all  that hate  [72] To perform  the mercy  promised to  fathers,  and  his  holy  covenant;  [73] The oath  which  he sware  to  father  Abraham,  [74] that we being delivered  out of  the hand  enemies  might serve  him  without fear,  [75] In  holiness  and  righteousness  before  him,  all  the days  [76] And  thou,  child,  shalt be called  the prophet  of the Highest:  for  thou shalt go  of the Lord  to prepare  his  ways;  [77] To give  knowledge  of salvation  unto his  people  by  the remission  of their  sins,  [78] Through  the tender  mercy  God;  whereby  the dayspring  from  on high  hath visited  [79] To give light  to them that sit  in  darkness  and  in the shadow  of death,  to guide  feet  into  the way  of peace.  [80] And  the child  grew,  and  waxed strong  in spirit,  and  in  the deserts  till  the day  of his  shewing  unto  Israel.
