What does the Bible say about the song of Zacharias?

The song of Zacharias, found in Luke 1:68-79, celebrates God's divine visitation and redemption. In this hymn, often called the Benedictus, Zacharias declares, 'Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visited and redeemed his people.' This declaration reflects God's faithfulness to His covenant promises as seen in the history of Israel and the coming of Jesus Christ. It emphasizes that God's salvation is not limited to ethnic Israel but extends to a spiritual Israel – the true children of God from all nations, as highlighted in Paul’s writings.
