In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour;
for he has looked with favour on his lowly servant.
From this day on, all generations will call me blessèd:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
He has mercy on them that fear him
from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with his arm,
and has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent empty away.
He has come to the aid of his servant Israel,
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our forebears,
to Abraham and his seed for ever.
(Magnificat, BCP 1979, alt.)
