670c. Magnificat (The Song of Mary)

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 hand-maiden.

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 sea:
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, 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.
