Magnificat

Set by Paul Patterson (b. 1947), "Magnificat", op. 75 (1986) [ chorus, instrumental ensemble, and organ ] [Sung Text]

Note: this setting is made up of several separate texts.


My soul doth magnify the Lord
and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he hath regarded 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 through all generations.
He hath shewed strength with his arm,
he hath scatter'd the proud 
in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down mighty from their seat
and hath exalted the humble and the 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 forever.
