The Hymnal of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America 1940 651. My soul doth magnify the Lord

651. Magnificat

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 hencefoth
all generations shall call me blessed.

4 For he that is mighty hath magnified me;
and holy is his Name.

2nd half:
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 forefathers,
Abraham and his seed forever.

Glory 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.
