2. And hath raised up a mighty sal- | va-tion | for us || in the house | of His | servant | David;

3. As He spake by the mouth of His | ho-ly | prophets || which have been | since the | world be- | gan;

4. That we should be saved | from our | enemies || and from the hand of | all that | hate — | us;

5. To perform the mercy promised to | our fore- | fathers, || and to remember His | ho-ly | Cov-e- | nant:

6. To perform the oath which He sware to our fore-father | A-bra- | ham || that | He would | give —| us;

7. That we, being delivered out of the hand of our | en-e- | mies, || might serve | Him with- | out — | fear,

8. In holiness and righteous- | ness be- | fore Him || all the | days of | our — | life.

9. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet | of the | Highest, || for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord | to pre- | pare His | ways;

10. To give knowledge of salvation | unto His | people || for the re- | mis-sion | of their | sins,

11. Through the tender mercy | of our | God || whereby the Day-spring from on | high hath | visit-ed | us;

12. To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the | shadow of | death || and to guide our feet | into the | way of | peace.

Glory be to the Father | and to the | Son || and | to the | Ho-ly | Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever | shall be, || world without | end! — | A- — | men.
