1Our souls shall magnify the Lord,
In God the Savior we rejoice;
While we repeat the Virgin's song,
May the same Spirit tune our voice!
May the same Spirit tune our voice!

2The Highest saw her low estate,
And mighty things his hand hath done;
His overshadowing power and grace
Makes her the mother of his Son,
Makes her the mother of his Son.

3Let every nation call her blessed,
And endless years prolong her fame:
But God alone must be adored;
Holy and reverend is his name,
Holy and reverend is his name.

4To those that fear and trust the Lord,
His mercy stands forever sure;
From age to age his promise lives,
And the performance is secure,
And the performance is secure.

5He spake to Abram and his seed,
“In thee shall all the earth be blessed;”
The memory of that ancient word
Lay long in his eternal breast,
Lay long in his eternal breast.

6But now, no more shall Israel wait,
No more the Gentiles lay forlorn:
Lo, the desire of nations comes!
Behold, the promised seed is born!
Behold, the promised seed is born!
