74 To grant us that we,
Being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
Might ^aserve Him without fear,

75 ^aIn holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.

76 “And you, child, will be called the ^aprophet of the Highest;
For ^byou will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,

77 To give ^aknowledge of salvation to His people
By the remission of their sins,

78 Through the tender mercy of our God,
With which the¹ Dayspring from on high has visited us;

79 ^aTo give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To ^bguide our feet into the way of peace.”
