9 Canticle: Magnificat Charles Villiers Stanford My soul doth magnify Lord, my spirit hath reoiced in God my Savior. For he hath regarded lowliness his hmaiden. For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me: holy is his Name. And his mercy is on m that fear him throughout all generations. He hath showed strength with his arm, he hath scattered proud in imagination ir hearts. He hath put down mighty from ir seat, hath exalted humble meek. He hath filled hungry with good things, rich he hath sent empty away. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, as he promised our forefars, Abraham his seed, for ever. Glory be Far, Son, Holy Ghost; as it was in beginning, is now, ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Fourth Lesson: Luke 1: The angel Gabriel announces Virgin Mary that she will bear a son. Carol: Angelus ad Virginem Angelus ad Virginem subintrans in conclave Virginis formidinem demulcens inquit:ave! Ave, Regina virginum, caeli terraeque Dominum concipies et paries intacta salutem hominum, tu porta caeli facta medela criminum. Quomodo conciperem quae virum non cognovi? Qualiter infringerem quod firma mente vovi? Spiritus Sancti gratia perficiet haec omnia; ne timeas, sed gaudeas, secura quod castimonia manebit in te pura Dei potentia. Ad haec virgo nobilis respondens inquit ei: "Ancilla sum humilis omnipotentis Dei. Tibi caelesti nuntio, tanti secreti conscio consentiens et cupiens videre factum quod audio; parata sum parere Dei consilio." Eia Mater Domini, quae pacem reddidisti Angelis et homini, cum Christum genuisti: tuum exora Filium ut se nobis propitium exhibeat et deleat peccata: praestans auxilium vita frui beata post hoc exsilium. Deo Gratias. Medieval Carol arr. Andrew Carter Gabriel, from heaven's king Sent maiden sweet, Brought her blissful tiding And fair 'gan her greet. 'Hail be thou, full grace aright!

'Tis through Holy Ghost that wrought Shall be this thing where tidings I bring: Lost mankind shall be bought By thy sweet childbearing, And back from sorrow brought.' When maiden undersod And angel's words had heard, Mildly, her own mild mood, The angel she answered: 'Our Lord His hmaiden, I wis, I am, that here above us is: And uching me fulfilled be thy saw; That I, since His will is, Be, out nature's law A maid with mor's bliss.' Filled full charity, Thou matchless maiden-mor, Pray for us him that He For thy love above or, Away our sin guilt should take, And clean every stain us make And heaven's bliss, when our time is die, Would give us for thy sake; With grace serve him by Till He us him take.
