From the recording Love Me to Life
This song, also known as the Magnificat, is one of the most ancient Christian hymns. Many of the songs in "Love Me to Life" are scripturally-based. This is based primarily on Luke 1:46-55.
Lyrics
The Canticle of Mary
Albert Frank Tucci
An angel was sent to Nazareth
To a virgin betrothed to Joseph.
He said, “Mary, Oh highly favored one,
Rejoice, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women.
Do not fear, you’ve found favor with God.”
She said,
“My soul proclaims the greatness of God;
My spirit finds joy in my Savior.
For He looked upon me in my lowliness,
All people shall call me Blessed.”
“Blessed are you among women.
Do not fear, you’ve found favor with God.”
“God has done great things for me,
Holy is His name.
His mercy is endless from age to age
For those who honor His name.”
The Lord has shown His power and might
Confusing the proud in their thoughts.
He removed the mighty from the seats of their thrones;
The lowly have been lifted on high.
“Great things have been done for me by my Lord,
Holy is His name.”
“God has done great things for me,
Holy is His name.
His mercy is endless from age to age
For those who honor His name.”
The hungry soul is filled with good things
While the rich are sent empty away.
Remember His mercy and kindness toward nations
As He promised our fathers forever.
“Great things have been done for me by my Lord,
Holy is His name.”
“God has done great things for me,
Holy is His name.
His mercy is endless from age to age
For those who honor His name.”
