Lyrics
Mezzo-soprano
My soul doth magnify the Lord:
and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the lowliness of his
handmaiden.
For behold, from henceforth all generations
shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me, and
holy is his name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him
throughout all generations.
He hath shewed strength with his arm:
he hath scattered the proud in the imagination
of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat: and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy hath holpen his
servant Israel:
as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham
and his seed forever
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to
the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever
shall be:
world without end. Amen.
Choir
Magnificat anima mea Dominum:
et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo. Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae: Ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes
generationes.
Quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est, et
sanctum nomen eius.
Et misericordia eius a progenie in 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 Israel puerum suum, recordatus
misericordiae suae:
sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham
et semini eius in saecula.
Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper:
et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
