Words from above from the Gospels: Magnificat Book of Common Praye] My soul doth magnify the Lord : and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.For he hath regarded : the lowliness of his handmaiden.For behold, from henceforth : all generations shall call me blessed.For he that is mighty hath magnified me : and holy is his Name.And his mercy is on them that fear him : throughout all generations.He hath shewed strength with his arm : he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.He hath put down the mighty from their seat : and hath exalted the humble and meek.He hath filled the hungry with good things : and the rich he hath sent empty away.He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel : as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever. https://youtube/watch?v=4i6coCsiQWE
