During the upcoming season of Advent, Oak Forest Anglican Church will be singing the Magnificat (the Song of Mary) each Sunday. We have produced this recording so that you can familiarize yourself with the tune. The lyrics are below:

My soul magnifies the Lord, 

and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior, 

for He has regarded

the low estate of His handmaiden.

For behold, from this time forth

all generations shall call me blessed; 

for the Mighty One has done great things for me,

and holy is His name. 

And His mercy is upon generation after generation

toward those who fear Him.

He has shown strength with His arm;

He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He has brought down the mighty from their thrones,

and exalted those of low degree.

He has filled the hungry with good things,

and the rich He has sent away empty-handed.

He has given help to His servant Israel,

so as to remember His mercy forever;

as He spoke to our fathers,

to Abraham and to his seed.

Glory to the Father

and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;

as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be;

age after age. Amen.
