Luke 1:72-80 ▼

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

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

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

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

76 And 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,

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

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

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

80 And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the wildernesse, til the day came that he should shewe him selfe vnto Israel.
