My Soul Rejoices (Magnificat)

1.  My soul rejoices,

     My spirit voices—

          Sing the greatness of the Lord!

               For God my Savior

               Has shown me favor—

          Sing the greatness of the Lord!

     With praise and blessing,

     Join in confessing

          God, who is solely

          Mighty and holy—

               Oh, sing the greatness of God the Lord!

     His mercy surely

     Shall rest securely

          On all who fear Him,

          Love and revere Him—

               Oh, sing the greatness of God the Lord!

  2.  His arm now baring,

       His strength declaring—

            Sing the greatness of the Lord!

                 The proud He scatters,

                 Their rule He shatters—

            Sing the greatness of the Lord!

       Oppression halted;

       The meek exalted.

            Full are the hungry;

            Empty, the wealthy—

                 Oh, sing the greatness of God the Lord!

       Here is the token

       All that was spoken

            To Abr’am’s offspring

            God is fulfilling—

                 Oh, sing the greatness of God the Lord!
