 THE MAGNIFICAT OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

My soul now glorifies

The Lord who is my Saviour,
Rejoice for who am I,
That God has shown me favour.

The world shall call me blessed
And ponder on my story,
In me is manifest God's greatness
And his glory.

For those who are is his friends
And keep his laws most holy,
His mercy is never ends,
And he exalts the lowly.





But by his power the great
The proud, the self-conceited,
The kings who sit in state,
Are humbled and defeated

He fills the starving poor,
He guards His holy nation,
Fulfulling what he swore,
Long since in revelation.

Then glorify with me
The Lord who is my Saviour
One Holy Trinity
Forever and forever.

Amen
