Mary Gladly Told Her Cousin

Mary glad­ly told her cou­sin

Praise the Lord! My spir­it sings!

Young and hum­ble

she’d been chos­en!

God was sure­ly chang­ing things!

God of love

her words ring true

As we sing her pray­er to you:

“Now my soul is glad­ly sing­ing

At the great­ness of the Lord.

I re­joice

for God is bring­ing

His sal­va­tion to the world.

All who live will say I’m blest

Even in my low­li­ness.

“God is migh­ty

just and ho­ly

And he’s done great things for me.

Those who fear him know the mer­cy

That God gives us end­less­ly.

Mighty ones are brought down low;

Lowly ones find bless­ings flow.

God has filled the poor and hun­gry

And he’s sent the rich away.

God is ac­tive here in his­to­ry

In a real and won­drous way.

God has pro­mised

and I’m bless­ed

For I know God’s faith­ful­ness.
