Evensong at Guildford Cathedral, 20 March 1969:
(Written in 1945 in response to a challenge by the Dean of King's College, Eric Milner-White, to write a set of canticles for the choir. The anthem from the same 1969 service is at    • Now is the bitter time (Johann W Franck) -...  , while a 1974 performance of the "Collegium Regale" Nunc Dimittis is at    • Nunc Dimittis "Collegium Regale" (Herbert ...  )

My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden.
For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him, throughout all generations.
He hath shewed strength with his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever.
