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.

9. He hath holden his servant Israel: being mindful of his mercy.

10. As he spake unto our fathers: for Abraham and his seed for ever.

Glory, etc.
