Through the tender mercy of our God; by which the dawn from on high has visited us,
All Commentaries on Luke 1:78 Go To Luke 1
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Which mercy we find not indeed by our own seeking, but God from on high has appeared to us, as it follows; Whereby (i.e. by His tender mercy) the day-spring from on high (that is, Christ) has visited us, taking upon Him our flesh.
