I. 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 ejus. And his mercy is on them who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud, even the arrogant of heart. He has deposed the mighty from their seats, and exalted the humble. e hungry he has filled with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy. As it was spoken to our fathers, to Abraham and his seed forever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen! III. Et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies timentibus eum. Fecit potentiam in brachio suo; dispersit superbos mente cordis sui. IV. 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 ejus in saecula. V. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen! My soul magnifies the Lord. And my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior. For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he who is mighty has done great things to me; and holy is his name. II. Shall I rejoice for Christ in me, the first of such to say? All that this child shall ever say or be now lives and grows in me. Shall I rejoice for Christ in me, his name forever mine? I yield to him my life's identity; Christ lives and grows in me. Shall I rejoice for Christ in me, both glory and disgrace? My song shall be both joy and agony; Christ lives and grows in me. Shall I rejoice for Christ in me, as clouds and shadows rise? I ponder scenes that I don't want to see. Christ lives and grows in me. Terry York © Birnamwood Publications Text For Preview Only
