('O Worship The King')
Based on Luke 1 v.46 - 55
********
Mary's triumph song, we sing all day long
The 'Magnificat', we join cheerful throng
For her soul did magnify the Lord sure
Her spirit rejoiced in Him for evermore
For tidings of birth to her announced
She would bear God's Son, it was thus pronounced
And in her thanks grateful she praises outpoured
In humble obedience to her worthy Lord
The Lord He regarded her low estate
He would extol her and make her then great
For behold from henceforth all peoples they would
Call her blessed, it is right, that they all should
For God that is mighty, great things He did
Revealed His plans to her, they were not hid
And holy His name, so did Mary confess
His mercy on those who fear Him, He shall bless
He with His arm strength shows, puts down the proud
E'en though their protests may be sharp and loud
He brings them low, raises the humble on high
Assured of His presence, they know He is nigh
The hungry He fills with good things, fine fare
But the rich and greedy, they have no share
He His servant Israel has helped all along
Remembering His mercy, they sing worship song
His covenant to Abraham He recalled
Did not it forget, and was never stalled
His promise to bless his people for all time
Throughout all life's journey, each season and rhyme

Another good hymn Orchi.
A gem of a hymn dear friend.
Loved the music. Reminds me of my choir days. Your version is a pleasant addition.
Thanks all.
