The Song of Mary: Magnificat (First few verses)

Luke 1:46-55 (pages 91 and 92 BCP)

My soul Proclaims the greatness of the Lord,

my spirit rejoices in God my Savior;

for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.

From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name.
