Magnificat I

Words
Wō-e
Magnificat anima mea Dominum,
et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo;
quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae,
ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.
Quia fesit mihi magna, qui potens est et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericordia eius a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.
Wō-e
Fesit potentiam in brachio suo,
dispersit superbos mente cordis sui,
deposuit potentes de sede
et exaltavit humiles, esurientes implevit bonis,
et divites dimisit inanes.
Suscepit Israel, puerum suum,
recordatus misericordiae suae
sicut locutus est ad patres nostros,
Abraham et semini eius in saecula.
Gloria Patri et Filius et Spiritui Sancto.
Wō-e
Sicut erat in prinsipio et nunc et semper et in saecula saeculorum
Amen
Wō-e
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.
Wō-e
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.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;
Wō-e
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end. Amen
