Magnificat

A Prayer-Paraphrase of Luke 1:46-55

by John van de Laar

We praise you, Lord,

and our spirits rejoice in you – our Saviour;

For you take notice of the unnoticeable,

and transform them into the blessed;

You are strong and true to yourself and all that is good

in everything you are and do and say;

and you do great things for us;

Through the ages you have shown compassion

to those who trust you,

And in your strength you have scattered

those who are arrogant and abusive;

You have made the thrones of tyrants topple

and you have made humble people into leaders of many;

You have cared for and provided for those who have nothing,

and you have left the over-satisfied with empty hands;

You have always been a help to your people,

and have shown mercy when we have gone astray;

You made this promise to our ancestors,

and you continue to stay true to it even now.

We praise you, Lord,

and our spirits rejoice in you – our Saviour.

Amen.
