Magnificat

My soul glorifies the Lord,
My spirit rejoices in God, my Saviour.
He looks on his servant in her lowliness;
Henceforth all ages will call me blessed.

The Almighty works marvels for me.
Holy his name!
His mercy is from age to age,
On those who fear him.

He puts forth his arm in strength
And scatters the proud-hearted.
He casts the mighty from their thrones
And raises the lowly.

He fills the starving with good things,
Send the rich away empty.

He protects Israel, his servant,
Remembering his mercy,
The mercy promised to our ancestors,
To Abraham and his children for ever.

 

Song to Mary

Rejoice, O Virgin, Mother of God
Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.

For blessed are you among all women
And blessed is the fruit of your womb.

Because you have given birth
To the Saviour.
