Refrain: My soul proclaims with wonder the greatness of the Lord; rejoicing in God's goodness, my spirit is restored. To me God has shown favor, to one the world though frail; and every age will echo the angel's first "All hail." Refrain God's mercy shields the faithful and saves them from defeat with strength that turns to scatter the proud in their conceit. Refrain The mighty have been vanquished; the lowly lifted up. The hungry find abundance; the rich, an empty cup. Refrain To Abraham's descendants the Lord will steadfast prove, for God has made with Israel a covenant of love. Refrain
