The Song of the Blessed Virgin. Luke. 1.
1
My Soul does magnify the Lord,my Spirit does rejoyce
In God, my Saviour, who deserv'st
the Praise of Heart and Voice.
2
For his poor Hand-Maid he regards,whose Mind was sore deprest;
And all Ages from hence forth shall
call me most truly Blest.
8
3
He that is great hath Wonders done,and holy is his Name;
His Mercies hath for ever been
to his Saints, still the same.
4
He with his Strength hath pulled downthe Mighty from their Seat;
And them of Low and Base Degree,
are rais'd to Honour great.
5
He fill'd the Hungry Soul, with Good,the Rich Empty remain'd;
His Mercy he has call'd to mind,
his People help have gain'd.
6
The Promise to our Fathers made,in the which he long stood,
Engag'd to Abraham and his Seed,
he hath at last made good.
