Hymn 1:60. The virgin Mary's song; or, The promised Messiah born, Luke 1. 46 &c.

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

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

3 Let every nation call her bless'd, And endless years prolong her fame; But God alone must be ador'd; Holy and reverend is his Name.]

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

5 He spake to Abr'am and his seed, "In thee shall all the earth be bless'd;" The memory of that ancient word Lay long in his eternal breast.

6 But now no more shall Israel wait, No more the Gentiles lie forlorn: Lo the desire of nations comes, Behold the promis'd seed is born.
