THE MAGNIFICAT (refrain in blue) My soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, thou who without stain barest God the Word, and art truly Theotokos, we magnify thee. For He hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, thou who without stain barest God the Word, and art truly Theotokos, we magnify thee. 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. More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, thou who without stain barest God the Word, and art truly Theotokos, we magnify thee. He hath shown strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, thou who without stain barest God the Word, and art truly Theotokos, we magnify thee. He hath put down the mighty from their thrones and exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the empty with good things, and the rich He hath sent empty away. More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, thou who without stain barest God the Word, and art truly Theotokos, we magnify thee. He remembering His mercy hath holpen His servant Israel, as He promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed forever. More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, thou who without stain barest God the Word, and art truly Theotokos, we magnify thee. It is truly meet to bless Thee, O Theotokos, ever-blessed and most pure, and the Mother of our God. More honorable than the cherubim and more glorious beyond compare than the seraphim; thou who without stain barest God the Word and art truly Theotokos, we magnify thee. |
