Evening Service in D (Arr. for Choir and Orchestra by Douglas Hopkins): I. Magnificat

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.

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. Amen.
