1 My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
and my spirit sings for joy to my Saviour God!
His lowly slave he looked upon in love;
they will call me happy now, for mighty are the works
he has done, and holy is his name.

2 In every age, for those who fear the Lord
come his mercy and the strength of his mighty arm:
he routs the proud, throws monarchs off their thrones,
while he lifts the lowly high, fills hungry ones with food,
and the rich sends empty away.

3 To Israel his servant he brings help
and the promise to our fathers is now fulfilled;
for Christ has come, according to his word,
and the mercy that he showed to Abraham is now
for his children's children evermore.

Tune: ANDREW MARK (Norman Warren)
