How can it be that I am blessed To bear a gift so tender My soul rejoices in the LORD The one true God my Saviour They will surely call me blessed From now all generations For he has remembered me For he has been mindful O, rejoice You people Israel Your light has come Hallelujah He has brought down the mighty ones And lifted up the humble He has helped the weak to stand And scattered all the prideful And He has filled the hungry And sent the rich away To those who fear him he has shown A never-ending mercy
