Luke 1:67-80 | Song of Zacharias (Benedictus) | A Word-for-Word Scripture music song.
This is Part 7 of 7 excerpts from the song Luke 1. Luke 1:67-80 describes Zechariah's prophecy, a hymn of praise sung after his son, John the Baptist, is born and named. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Zechariah praises God for visiting and redeeming His people, raising up a "horn of salvation" (the Messiah from David's line) to fulfil promises to Abraham, and bringing salvation from enemies, allowing God's people to serve Him fearlessly. He foretells John's role as a prophet preparing the way for the Lord, bringing the "dayspring from on high" (Jesus) to give light and guide people to peace, and concludes with John growing in the wilderness. Lyrics 67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. 76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; 77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, 78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, 79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. 80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
