Tune: Woodlands
('Tell out my soul')
Luke 1 v.46-55
**********
My soul does magnify the Lord and praise
Him, and my spirit has rejoiced these days
In God my Saviour, for He has seen then
The lowly state of me His handmaiden
For, behold from henceforth all peoples, they
Shall call me blessed, for comes salvation's day
For He that is mighty has done to me
Great things, and holy His name always be
And His mercy is on them who Him fear
Each generation who to Him draw near
He has showed strength with His arm, has scattered
The proud in their hearts thoughts, has not deferred
He has put down the mighty from their seats
And exalted the lowly, done great feats
He has filled the hungry with His good things
And the rich are empty, this their greed brings
He has helped his servant Israel, for He
Has remembered His mercy, does them see
As He promised to Abraham and seed
His descendants He does keep, ever feed

Lol. Our days are littered with so much stimuli.
Ah so appropriate for this time of the year Orchi. Very nicely worded and rhymed my friend.
