w&m: Chris de Silva, 2012
Based on Luke 1:46-55
For Liam Lawton

[Refrain - Cantor]
Magnificat anima mea Dominum.
My soul sings glory to the Lord,
my soul proclaims the greatness of our God.

[Refrain - All]

[Verse 1]
You look upon your servant, upon my lowliness,
and ev'ry generation will call me blessed.
O mighty God, my Savior, you do great things for me.
Holy is God's name.

[Refrain - All]

[Verse 2]
Your endless mercy lives with all those who honor you.
With strength, you scatter all the proud of heart;
throw down the mighty rulers, exalt the lowly ones.
Holy is God's name.

[Refrain - All]

[Verse 3]
You feed the poor with good things; with nothing, the rich are cast.
With mercy you remember Israel;
the promise to our fathers, to Abraham. Amen.
Holy is God's name.

[Refrain - All]
