Be joyful, Mary, heav'nly queen, alleluia:
Your Son who died was living seen,
Alleluia, rejoice, rejoice, O Mary.
The Son you bore by heaven's grace, alleluia:
Did all our guilt and sin efface,
Alleluia, rejoice, rejoice, O Mary.
The Lord has risen from the dead, alleluia:
He rose in glory as he said,
Alleluia, rejoice, rejoice, O Mary.
O pray to God, O Virgin fair, alleluia:
That he our souls to heaven bear,
Alleluia, rejoice, rejoice, O Mary.
"May we, most of all when it seems madness, keep our faith in the Risen Christ unshaken in our hearts."
