MAGNIFICAT! Inspired word,
From Mary's raptured bosom pour'd!
My soul, with Mary bless the Lord.
Magnificat!
Magnificat! O whence is this,
That God should heed my littleness?
Henceforward, all my name shall bless.
Magnificat!
Magnificat! Praise God alone,
The mercy of my Saviour own:
For He hath mighty wonders done.
Magnificat!
Magnificat! His wondrous grace
Is manifest from race to race
Of them who fear before His face.
Magnificat!
Magnificat! He hath brought down
The proud man from his lofty throne,
And lifted up the humble one.
Magnificat!
Magnificat! Grace for the Poor!
The Poor who plead at Mercy's door:
The scornful rich shall have no more.
Magnificat!
Magnificat! In me behold
Fulfill'd, the promises of old
To Abraham and the Fathers told.
Magnificat!
Magnificat! The Song of praise
To Father, Son, and Spirit raise!
One God, throughout eternal days!
Magnificat!
