Text: | My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord |
Tune: | [My soul doth magnify the Lord] |
Composer: | Thomas Purcell |
1 My soul doth magnify the Lord,
and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
2 For He hath regarded
the lowliness of His handmaiden.
3 For behold, from henceforth
all generations shall call me blessed.
4 For He that is mighty hath magnified me,
and holy is His Name.
5 And His mercy is on them that fear Him
throughout all generations.
6 He hath showed strength with His arm;
He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
7 He hath put down the mighty from their seat;
and hath exalted the humble and meek.
8 He hath filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich He hath sent empty away.
9 He remembering His mercy hath holpen His servant Israel;
as He promised to our forefather Abraham and his seed for ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
