1. Magnificat
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior;
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation, he has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his people Israel, for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children forever.
Glory to the Father and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be forever. Amen.
2. Nunc Dimitis
Lord, you now have set your servant free to go in peace as you have promised;
for these eyes of mine have seen the savior whom you have prepared for all the world to see; a Light to enlighten the nations,
and the glory of your people Israel.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be forever. Amen.
