Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Hymnal: Voices Together #222 (2020) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Hymnal Title: Voices Together First Line: To me has God shown favor Lyrics: Refrain:
My soul proclaims with wonder
the greatness of the Lord,
rejoicing in God’s greatness,
my spirit is restored.
1 To me has God shown favor,
to one the world thought frail,
and ev’ry age will echo
the angel’s first “All hail.” [Refrain]
2 God’s mercy shields the faithful
and saves them from defeat,
with strength that turns to scatter
the proud in their conceit. [Refrain]
3 The mighty have been vanquished,
the lowly lifted up.
The hungry find abundance,
the rich, an empty cup. [Refrain]
4 To Abraham’s descendants,
the Lord will steadfast prove,
for God has made with Israel
a covenant of love. [Refrain] Topics: Covenant; Justice; Magnificat / Mary’s Song; Mary, Mother of Jesus; Reign of Christ Scripture: 1 Samuel 2:1-10 Tune Title: WALNUT
