54b Magnificat (The Song of Mary) Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his name: make known his might, the deeds his arm has done; his mercy sure, from age to age the same; his holy name, the Lord, the Mighty One. Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his might: powers and dominions lay their glory by; proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight, the hungry fed, the humble lifted high. Tell out, my soul, the glories of his word: firm is his promise, and his mercy sure. Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord to children's children and for evermore. Timothy Dudley-Smith (Tune: 10 10 10 10, e.g.'Woodlands') 54c Magnificat (The Song of Mary) With Mary let my soul rejoice, and praise God's holy name -- his saving love from first to last, from age to age the same! How strong his arm, how great his power! the proud he will disown; the meek and humble he exalts to share his glorious throne. The rich our God will send away and feed the hungry poor; the arms of love remain outstretched at mercy's open door. So shall God's promise be fulfilled, to Israel firmly made: a child is born, a Son is given whose crown will never fade. All glory to the Father, Son and Spirit now proclaim; with Mary let the world rejoice and praise God's holy name! David Mowbray (Tune: CM, e.g.'St Stephen') 55a Benedictus (The Song of Zechariah) 1 Blessed be
