The Magnificat

Luke 1 : 46-55

My soul proclaims your greatness, O God,

And my spirit rejoices in you, my Savior.

For you have looked with favor

upon your lowly servant,

and from this day forward

All generations will call me blessed.

For you, the Almighty, have done great things for me,

and holy is your Name.

Your mercy reaches from age to age

for those who fear you.

You have shown strength with your arm,

You have scattered the proud in the conceit,

You have deposed the mighty from their thrones

and raised the lowly to high places.

You have filled the hungry with good things,

while you have sent the rich away empty.

You have come to the aid of Israel your servant,

Mindful of your mercy-

The promise you made to our ancestors-

to Sarah and Abraham

and their descendants forever.
