The Magnificat.
AnswerThis song, found in Luke 1:47-55, is called the Magnificat. It was based on Hannah's prayer in 1 Samuel 2, as a parallel reading of the two will show. Some manuscripts of the New Testament indicate that it was Elizabeth who sang the Magnificat in Luke 1.47-55, not Mary.
Mary's Canticle of praise is known as "The Magnificat" from the first word of the canticle in Latin. It is one of the most celebrated canticles in Catholicism and is recited or sung at least once a day, at Vespers.
Here is it in full (taken from St. Luke 1.47-55, Douay-Rheims, Challoner edition):
46. And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
47. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48. Because he hath regarded the humility of his
handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall
call me blessed.
49. Because he that is mighty hath done great things to
me: and holy is his name.
50. And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to
them that fear him.
51. He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered
the proud in the conceit of their heart.
52. He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath
exalted the humble.
53. He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the
rich he hath sent empty away.
54. He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of
his mercy.
55. As he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his
seed for ever.
(Doxology, added by the Church)
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The "Magnificat" in Luke 1:46-55
46 And Mary said:
"My soul glorifies the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me-
holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,
just as he promised our ancestors."
In the Western Church e.g. Roman Catholicism, Lutheranism, Anglicanism ect, 'Mary's song of rejoice' has traditionally been dubbed the 'Magnificat', which is the first word of 'the song', when sung in Latin. (As an aside: Luke, the author of the narrative wherein 'Mary's song' can be found, was written in Greek).
The song of praise sung by Mary in Luke's Gospel is called the Magnificat. It has parallels with Hannah's prayer in 1 Sam 2, and may have been based on that earlier version.
