Luke i. 46-55.
My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my
spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For He hath regarded the low estate of
His handmaiden.
For behold, from henceforth all genera-
tions shall call me blessed.
For He that is mighty, hath done to me
great things; and holy is His name.
And His mercy is on them that fear Him
from generation to generation.
He hath showed strength with His arm;
He hath scattered the proud in the imagina-
tion of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their
seats, and exalted them of low degree.
He hath filled the hungry with good
things; and the rich he hath sent empty
away.
He hath holpen His servant Israel, in
remembrance of His mercy;
As He spake to our fathers, to Abraham,
and his seed forever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and
ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
