I am your servant,\par a child of one of your servant women.\par Lord, you were my first teacher!\par
Do what you promised for your servant,\par so that people will respect you.\par

I am not important.\par But God has shown his care for me,\par his servant girl.\par From now on, all people will say\par that I am blessed,\par
