The Song of the Virgin Mary

Verse 1

My Soul doth magnify The LORD, who reigns on high; For my GOD and Saviour, he Regards my low Estate, Making his Hand-Maid great, And with Glory honours me.

Verse 2

Henceforth all Nations shall Me ever blessed call; For the LORD hath rais'd my Fame; His Mercy, which shall last, 'Till Time itself is past, Is on those who fear his Name.

Verse 3

His Strength he doth display, To chase the Proud away, Making all their Wishes vain; The Haughty from their Place His Justice shall disgrace, But the Meek shall Honours gain.

Verse 4

To him the Hungry cry, Who doth good Things supply, But the Rich he sends away; The Meek shall surely prove His everlasting Love, Them he hears whene'er they pray.

Verse 5

His Mercy kept in Mind, Shall happy Isr'el find, And his Help in Time of Need; As to our Fathers he By Promise did decree Unto Abra'm and his Seed.
