Luke 1

SONG 36

^{46-47-48-49-50-51-52-53-54-55-56}My soul and spirit, fill’d with joy,

my God and Saviour praise,

Whose goodness did from poor estate

his humble handmaid raise.

2 Me bless’d of God, the God of might,

all ages shall proclaim;

From age to age his mercy lasts,

and holy is his name.

3 Strength with his arm th’ Almighty shew’d;

the proud his looks abas’d;

He cast the mighty to the ground,

the meek to honour rais’d.

4 The hungry with good things were fill’d,

the rich with hunger pin’d:

He sent his servant Isr’el help,

and call’d his love to mind;

5 Which to our fathers’ ancient race

his promise did ensure,

To Abrah’m and his chosen seed,

for ever to endure.
