The Song of Mary

Verse 1

My soul, to magnify the Lord, Unites her powers, and voice. In God, my Savior, whom I trust, My spirit shall rejoice. For to his humble handmaid, he Hath graciously expressed Himself: and lo, all ages shall From hence forth call me blessed.

Verse 2

The Great, for me, great things hath done, And holy is his name. To them that fear him, mercy flows, From race to race, the same. Almighty strength he clearly showed, By what his arm hath wrought; The proud he scattered, and their vain Designs to nothing brought.

Verse 3

He drew the mighty from their seats; And raised up the low. With good the hungry filled; the rich In want were forced to go: His servant Israel helped, as he, In mercy, had decreed; And to our fathers promise made, To Abraham, and his seed.
