MagnificatFrank Henry Shera, 1882-1956My soul doth magnify the Lord: and my spirit hath rejoiceth in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the lowliness of his hand-maiden. For behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me: and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him, throughout all generations. He hath shewed strength with his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat: and hathexalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away. He rememb’ring his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel: as he promised to our fathers, Abraham and to his seed for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.Nunc DimittitsFrank Henry Shera, 1882-1956Lord, now let thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hastprepared before the face of all people; to be a light to lighten the Gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.
