Magnificat

Magnificat in D
Latin title full English text
Magnificat My soul doth magnify the Lord
Et exsultavit spiritus meus and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Quia respexit humilitatem For he hath regarded : the lowliness of his handmaiden.
Omnes generationes For behold, from henceforth : all generations shall call me blessed.
Quia fecit mihi magna For he that is mighty hath magnified me : and holy is his Name.
Et misericordia And his mercy is on them that fear him : throughout all generations.
Fecit potentiam He hath shewed strength with his arm : he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Deposuit potentes He hath put down the mighty from their seat : and hath exalted the humble and meek.
Esurientes implevit bonis He hath filled the hungry with good things : and the rich he hath sent empty away.
Suscepit Israel He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel : as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever.
Gloria Patri Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
Sicut erat in principio As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
