THE GOSPEL SONGS
63

II.

MAGNIFICAT.

Earth’s noise God’s music supersedes.
     Sin’s discord it excludes,
It tells us of a Lamb that bleeds,
     And of a Dove that broods.

It tells us of a Child Who brings
     The help that sets us free;
The song His Maiden-Mother sings
     Of saved Humanity.
