Latin
1. Magnificat * anima mea Dominum.

4. Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: et sanctum nomen ejus.
5. Et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies * timentibus eum.
6. Fecit potentiam in brachio suo * dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
7. Deposuit potentes de sede, * et exaltavit humiles.
8. Esurientes implevit bonis: * et divites dimisit inanes.
9. Suscepit Israel puerum suum, recordatus misericordiae suae.

11. Gloria Patri, et Filio, * et Spiritui Sancto.
12. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, * et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Stabat Mater

Stabat Mater

Stabat Mater dolorosa
Justa crucem lacrimosa
Sum pendebat Filius
Cujus animam gementem
Contristatem et dolentem
Per transivit gladius
O quam tristis et afflicta
Fuit illa benedicta
Mater Unigeniti

At The Cross Her Station Keeping

At the Cross her station keeping
Stood the mournful Mother weeping
Close to Jesus to the last
Through her heart His sorrow sharing
All His bitter anguish bearing
Now at length the sword has passed
O that blessed one grief laden
Blessed Mother, Blessed Maiden
Mother of the All blest one.
