riversident@Luke:1:73 @ The oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
riversident@Luke:1:74 @ To grant that we, saved from the hands of our enemies, may serve him Without fear
riversident@Luke:1:75 @ in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

riversident@Luke:1:78 @ Through the tender compassion of our God, With which the sunrise from on high will shine upon us;
