lyrics

MAGNIFICAT ANIMA MEA DOMINUM: ET EXSULTAVIT SPIRITUS MEUS IN DEO SALUTARI MEO. QUIA RESPEXIT HUMILITATEM ANCILLÆ SUÆ: ECCE ENIM EX HOC BEATAM ME DICENT OMNES GENERATIONES, QUIA FECIT MIHI MAGNA, QUI POTENS EST: ET SANCTUM NOMEN EIUS, ET MISERICORDIA EIUS IN PROGENIES ET PROGENIES TIMENTIBUS EUM. FECIT POTENTIAM IN BRACHIO SUO: DISPERSIT SUPERBOS MENTE CORDIS SUI. DEPOSUIT POTENTES DE SEDE, ET EXALTAVIT HUMILES. ESURIENTES IMPLEVIT BONIS: ET DIVITES DIMISIT INANES. SUSCEPIT ISRÆL PUERUM SUUM, RECORDATUS MISERICORDIÆ SUÆ: SICUT LOCUTUS EST AD PATRES NOSTROS, ABRAHAM ET SEMINI EIUS IN SÆCULA.

My soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour. For He has regarded: the lowliness of His handmaiden: for behold, from henceforth: all generations shall call me blessed. For He that is mighty has magnified me: and Holy is His Name. And His mercy is on them that fear Him: throughout all generations. He has shown strength with His arm: He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has put down the mighty from their seat: and has exalted the humble and meek. He has filled the hungry with good things: and the rich He has sent away empty. He, remembering his mercy, has helped His servant Israel: as He promised to our forefathers, Abraham and His seed for ever.
