Luke 1:46-56
46-56 My soul and spirit, fill’d with joy,
my God and Saviour praise,
Whose goodness did from poor estate
his humble handmaid raise.
2 Me bless’d of God, the God of might,
all ages shall proclaim;
From age to age his mercy lasts,
and holy is his name.
3 Strength with his arm th’ Almighty shew’d;
the proud his looks abas’d;
He cast the mighty to the ground,
the meek to honour rais’d.
4 The hungry with good things were fill’d,
the rich with hunger pin’d:
He sent his servant Isr’el help,
and call’d his love to mind;
5 Which to our fathers’ ancient race
his promise did ensure,
To Abrah’m and his chosen seed,
for ever to endure.
