*
And his father Zechari '
ah was filled with the Holy Spirit ,
and prophesied ,
saying ,
* "
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel ,
for he has visited and redeemed his people ,
*
and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David ,
*
as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old ,
*
that we should be saved from our enemies ,
and from the hand of all who hate us ;
*
to perform the mercy promised to our fathers ,
and to remember his holy covenant ,
*
the oath which he swore to our father Abraham ,
*
to grant us that we ,
being delivered from the hand of our enemies ,
might serve him without fear ,
*
in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life .
*
And you ,
child ,
will be called the prophet of the Most High ;
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways ,
*
to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins ,
*
through the tender mercy of our God ,
when the day shall dawn upon us from on high
*
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death ,
to guide our feet into the way of peace ."
*
And the child grew and became strong in spirit ,
and he was in the wilderness till the day of his manifestation to Israel .
