1 Be joyful, Mary, heav'nly Queen,
Be joyful, Mary!
Your Son who died was living seen,
Alleluia, Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!
2 The Son you bore by heaven's grace,
Be joyful, Mary!
Did all our guilt and sin efface,
Alleluia, Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!
3 The Lord has risen from the dead,
Be joyful, Mary!
He rose with might as he had said,
Alleluia, Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!
4 Now pray to God, O Virgin fair,
Be joyful, Mary!
That he our souls to heaven bear,
Alleluia, Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!
