The Magnificat
Luke 1:46-55
And Mary said, My soul does magnify the Lord,…


Mary's song of praise is —

1. The climax of all the hymns of the old covenant.

2. The beginning of all the hymns of the new. (Van Oosterzee.) This hymn exhibits deep conviction of the reception of the highest favours combined with personal humility.

(C. S. Robinson, D. D.)
