Text and metadata are organized from Hymnary’s ELHB index pages and ELHL1918 instance pages.

1 My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God, my Savior.
2 For He hath regarded the lowliness of His handmaiden.
3 For, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
4 For He that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is His name.
5 And His mercy is on them that fear Him throughout all generations.
6 He hath showed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
7 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble and meek.
8 He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He hath sent empty away.
9 He remembering His mercy, hath holpen His servant Israel, as He promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed forever.
