My Soul Proclaims Your Greatness

1    My soul proclaims your greatness, Lord;
    I sing my Savior's praise!
    You looked upon my lowliness,
    and I am full of grace.
    Now ev'ry land and ev'ry age
    this blessing shall proclaim--
    great wonders you have done for me,
    and holy is your name.


2    To all who live in holy fear
    your mercy ever flows.
    With mighty arm you dash the proud,
    their scheming hearts expose.
    The ruthless you have cast aside,
    the lowly throned instead;
    the hungry filled with all good things,
    the rich sent off unfed.


3    To Israel, your servant blest,
    your help is ever sure;
    the promise to our parents made
    their children will secure.
    Sing glory to the Holy One,
    give honor to the Word,
    and praise the Pow'r of the Most High,
    one God, by all adored.
