652. Magnificat

1 My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord:
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior;

2 He has looked with favour: on his lowly servant.

3 From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me and
holy is his name.

4 He has mercy on those who fear him:
from generation to generation.

5 He has shown strength with his arm:
and has scattered the proud in their conceit.

6 Casting down the mighty from their thrones:
and lifting up the lowly.

7 He has filled the hungry with good things:
and sent the rich away empty.

8 He has come to the aid his servant Israel:
to remembering his promise of mercy,

9 The promise made to our ancestors:
to Abraham and his children for ever.

Glory to the Father and to the Son:
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning:
is now and shall be for ever. Amen.
