164. Magnificat

1 My soul doth magnify thy Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

2 For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden.

3 For behold from hencefoth all generations shall call me blessed.

4 For he that is mighty hath magnified me; and holy is his Name.

5 And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations.

6 He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

7 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble and meek.

8 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

9 He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel; as he promised to our forefathers Abraham and his seed forever.

Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.
