78.
Reading edition
Our souls shall magnify the Lord; In God the Saviour we rejoice: While we repeat the Virgin’s song, May the same spirit tune our voice.
To those who fear and trust the Lord, His mercy stands for ever sure: From age to age the promise lives, And the performance is secure.
But now no more shall Israel wait, No more the Gentiles lie forlorn: Lo! the Desire of Nations comes; Behold, the promised seed is born!
