From the Magnificat:

"He has shown strength with his arm;
    he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He has brought down the powerful from their thrones
    and lifted up the lowly;

he has filled the hungry with good things
    and sent the rich away empty."

(Luke 1:51-53, NRSV updated)

@canticanovae Oh, thank you for sharing that. It was the hope that I needed at the end of a hard day.

The Canticle of the Turning is my favorite Advent hymn. I used to introduce it to my congregations, none of whom had ever heard it before (although I think it's in the new denominational hymnal now).

@nicedragon So glad it gave you a lift! It's not in our hymnal yet, but the choir loves to share it. It's beautiful for Advent or evening prayer.
