Original German Text

   

1

     
 

Flauto traverso, 2 Violins, Continuo

   
 

Meine Seel e rhebt den Herren,
Und mein Geist freuet sich Gottes,
meines Heilandes.

   
       

2

     
       
 

Denn er hat seine elende Magd angesehen.
Siehe, von nun an werden mich selig preisen
alle Kindeskind.

   
 

Denn her hat große Ding an mir getan,
der la mächting ist und des Name heilig ist.

   
       

3

     
       
 

Und seine Barmherzigkeit währet immer für und für
bei denen, die ihn fürchten.

   
       

4

     
       
 

Er übet Gewalt mit seinem Arm
und zerstreuet, die hoffärtig sind
in ihres Herzens Sinn.

   
       

5

     
       
 

Er stößet die Gewaltigetigen vom Stuhl
und erhebet die Elenden.

   
       

6

     
       
 

Die Hungrigen füllt er mit Gütern
und lässet die Reichen leer.

   
       

7

     
       
 

Er denket der Barmherzigkeit
Und hilft seinem Diener Israel auf.

   
       

8

     
       
 

wie we gered't hat unsern Vätern,
Abraham und seinem Samen ewiglich.

   
       

9

     
       
 

Lob und Preis sei Gott dem Vater und dem Sohn
Und dem Heilgen Geiste

   
       

10

     
       
 

Wie es war im Anfang,
jetzt und immerdar
Und von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit.
Amen
