Lyrics to Magnificat

Magnificat.

My soul magnifies the Lord,

and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

he has looked on the lowliness of his servant.

For behold, behold from now on

all generations will call me blessed;

all generations will call me blessed; I am blessed

for the Mighty One has done great things for me,

and holy, holy is his name.

And his mercy is there for those who fear him

from generation to generation.

from generation to generation. We are blessed

He has shown great strength with his arm;

he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;

he has brought down the mighty from their thrones

and exalted the lowly of heart

and exalted the lowly of heart

He has filled the hungry with good things,

and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has helped his servant Israel,

in remembrance of his great mercy,

as he spoke to our fathers,

to Abraham and to his offspring forever."

My soul magnifies the Lord,

and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

in remembrance of his great mercy,

in remembrance of his great mercy,
