'My soul declares aloud': A metrical version of Mary's Magnificat

My latest column at Christian Courier is titled: 'My soul declares aloud': A metrical version of Mary's Magnificat. I offer it here to readers of a local Christian periodical for which I've written for nearly 35 years. Although the Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) is obviously not one of the Psalms, it is traditionally classified as a biblical canticle and has been sung in the church's liturgy since the very beginning. We should certainly be singing it today as well.
