Be joyful, Mary, heav’nly queen, Alleluia:
Your Son who died was living seen, Alleluia,
rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, O Mary.
The Son you bore by heaven’s grace, Alleluia:
Did all our guilt and sin efface, Alleluia,
rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, O Mary.
The Lord has risen from the dead, Alleluia:
He rose in glory as he said, Alleluia,
rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, O Mary.
O pray to God, O Virgin fair, Alleluia:
That he our souls to heaven bear, Alleluia,
rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, O Mary.
