                                                           Refrain:
                                                                My soul proclaims with wonder
                                                                the greatness of the Lord, 
                                                                rejoicing in God's greatness 
                                                                my spirit is restored.

1
To me has God shown favor, 
to one the world thought frail, 
and every age will echo 
the angel's first "All hail."     .....refrain

2
God's mercy shields the faithful 
and saves them from defeat, 
with strength that turns to scatter 
the proud in their conceit.     .....refrain

3
The mighty have been vanquished, 
the lowly lifted up. 
The hungry find abundance, 
the rich, an empty cup.          .....refrain

4
To Abraham's descendants, 
the Lord will steadfast prove, 
for God has made with Israel 
a covenant of love.                .....refrain
