Text: Magnificat quarti toni

Gutierre Fernández Hidalgo (c. 1553–1620)

Original Text English Translation
 
Magnificat anima mea Dominum
quia respexit humilitatem
ancillae suae:
ecce enim ex hoc beatam
me dicent omnes generationes.
Et misericordia eius a progenie
in progenies timentibus eum.
Deposuit potentes de sede
et exaltavit humiles.
Suscepit Israel puerum suum
recordatus misericordiae suae.
Gloria Patri et Filio
et Spiritui Sancto.		 My soul extols the Lord,
because he looked on his servant in her lowliness
of his handmaiden;
for behold, from henceforth
all generations shall call me blessed.
And his mercy is on them who fear him
throughout all generations.
He has put down the mighty from their seat,
and has exalted the humble and meek.
Remembering his mercy,
he has helped his servant Israel.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Ghost!
