lyrics
Text & English Translation
Magnificat: anima mea Dominum.
Et exultavit 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 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 misericordiæ suæ.
Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros:
Abraham et semini eius in sæcula.
Gloria Patri et Filio:
et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper:
et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
My soul doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced:
in God my Saviour.
Because He regarded the lowliness of His handmaiden:
for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Because He that is mighty hath done great things to me:
and holy is His name.
And His mercy is from generation unto generation:
to them that fear Him:
He hath shown might in His arm:
He hath scattered the proud
in the conceit of their heart.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat:
and hath exalted the humble.
He hath filled the hungry with good things:
and the rich He hath sent away empty.
He hath received Israel His servant:
being mindful of His mercy.
As He spoke to our fathers:
to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son:
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, now, and for ever:
world without end. Amen.
