1 Filled with hope and gratitude and filled with very God.
I sing with soul and spirit exultation,
for God has smiled upon the humble servant who will give
her own sweet milk to Christ, the world's salvation.
2 God's eternal mercy, meant for all of humankind,
is given as deliverance from oppression.
The powerful and haughty find that they are now cast down,
the lowly raised beyond this world's derision.
3 Hungry people eat good things and find an honored place;
the rich are sent away though they are hungry.
The promise to our forebears God renews for us today:
the world is filled with God's abundant mercy.
4 Filled with hope and gratitude and filled with very God.
I sing with soul and spirit exultation,
for God has smiled upon the humble servant who will give
her own sweet milk to Christ, the world's salvation.
