501. Be Joyful, Mary

1 Be joyful, Mary, heav'nly Queen,
Be joyful, Mary!/Gaude, Maria!
Your grief is changed to joy serene, Alleluia!
Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!/Laetare, O Maria!

2 The Son you bore by heaven's grace,
Be joyful, Mary!/Gaude, Maria!
Did by his death our guilt erase, Alleluia!
Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!/Laetare, O Maria!

3 The Lord has risen from the dead,
Be joyful, Mary!/Gaude, Maria!
He rose in glory as he said, Alleluia!
Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!/Laetare, O Maria!

4 Now pray to God, O Virgin fair,
Be joyful, Mary!/Gaude, Maria!
That he our souls to heaven bear, Alleluia!
Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!/Laetare, O Maria!
