The Magnificat,
OR CANTICLE OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN
1. My soul doth magnify: the Lord.
2. And my spirit hath rejoiced: in Hod my Saviour.
3. For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
4. For he that is mighty hath done great things unto me: and holy is his name.
5. And his mercy is from generation to generation: unto them that fear him.
6. He hath showed strength with his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.
7. He hath put down the mighty from their seat: and hath exalted the humble.
8. He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away.
