Lyrics:

Magnificat!

The Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is the name of the Lord.

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for you, O Lord, have looked with favor 
on your lowly servant. Magnificat!

The Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is the name of the Lord.

You have shown strength with your arm,
and scattered the proud in their conceit,
casting down the mighty from their thrones,
and lifting up the lowly.

The Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is the name of the Lord.

You have filled the hungry with good things,
and sent the rich away empty.
You have come to the aid of your servant Israel,
to remember the promise of mercy,
the promise made to our forebears,
to Abraham and his children forevermore.

The Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is the name of the Lord.

Magnificat!

Notes: SATB with divisi in all parts. Organ accompaniment and optional brass quintet.
