MAGNIFICAT. No. 1.

1 My soul doth magni- | fy the | Lord,

And my spirit hath re- | joiced in | God my | Saviour.

2 For He hath regarded the low estate of | His hand- | maiden: For behold, from henceforth all gener- ations shall | call me | blessed. 3 For He that is mighty hath done to me | great And holy is His | Name.

4 And His mercy is on | them that | fear Him, From generation to gener- ation.

5 He hath showed strength | with His | arm,

things,

He hath scattered the proud in the imagi- | nation | of their | hearts. 6 He hath put down the mighty | from their | seats,

And exalted them of | low de- | gree.

9 As He spake to our fathers, to | Abra- | ham, And to his seed for- | ever.

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. A- | men.

I BLESSED be the Lord | God of Israel,

For He hath visited | and re- | deemed His | people;
2 And hath raised up a horn of sal- | vation | for us,
In the house of His servant | David;

3 As He spake by the mouth of His | holy | prophets,
Which have been | since the world be- | gan;

4 That we should be saved | from our | enemies,
And from the | hand of | all that | hate us.

I LORD, now lettest Thou Thy servant de- | part in | peace,
According to Thy | word.

I AWAKE! awake! put on thy | strength, O | Zion;
Put on thy beautiful | garments, | O Je- | rusalem!

2 Go through, go through the gates, cast up, cast | up the | highway; Gather out the stones, lift up a | standard | for the ❘ people!

Make straight in the desert a | highway | for our | God!

4 And the Redeemer shall | come to | Zion,

And unto them that turn | from trans- | gression in | Jacob.

5 O Jerusalem, that | bringest good tidings,

Lift up thy voice with | strength.

6 Lift it up, be | not a- | fraid,

Say unto the cities of | Judah, Be- | hold your | God!

7 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to | Zion With songs and everlasting | joy up- on their | heads.

8 They shall obtain | joy and | gladness,

And sorrow and | sighing · shall | flee a- | way.

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. A- | men.
