Five nativity songs of praise are presented by Luke at the onset of the gospel. In this passage, we hear the Benidicta of Elizabeth and the Magnificat of Mary. Each song gives praise to God for His work among the people, and Mary's Magnificat demonstrates God's mighty power to reign over His enemies while extending mercy and grace to those that fear Him and function under His covenant. These songs give us a wonderful reminder of the redemptive work of God throughout the history of Israel, and a glimpse into the continuation of that plan through the birth of this special Child.
