rkjnt@Luke:1:68 @ Blessed is the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people,

rkjnt@Luke:1:69 @ And has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

rkjnt@Luke:1:70 @ As he spoke by the mouths of his holy prophets, from long ago:

rkjnt@Luke:1:71 @ That we would be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;

rkjnt@Luke:1:72 @ To show the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

rkjnt@Luke:1:73 @ The oath which he swore to our father Abraham,

rkjnt@Luke:1:74 @ That he would grant to us, that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear,

rkjnt@Luke:1:75 @ In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our lives.

rkjnt@Luke:1:77 @ To give to his people the knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins;

rkjnt@Luke:1:78 @ Through the tender mercy of our God, the sunrise from on high will visit us,

rkjnt@Luke:1:79 @ To give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
