Be joyful, Mary, heav’nly Queen,
Be joyful, Mary!/Gaude, Maria!
Your grief is changed to joy serene, Alleluia!
Laetare, O Maria! ( Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary! )
The Son you bore by heaven’s grace,
Be joyful, Mary!/Gaude, Maria!
Did by his death our guilt erase, Alleluia!
Laetare, O Maria! ( Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary! )
The Lord has risen from the dead,
Be joyful, Mary!/Gaude, Maria!
He rose in glory as he said, Alleluia!
Laetare, O Maria! ( Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary! )
“All the way to heaven is heaven.”
“Proclaim the truth and
do not be silent through fear.”
“I see the world is rotten because of being silent.
We shouldn’t have fear in going to God in prayer
and to witness to the faith in public”
“Nothing great is ever achieved
without much enduring.”
Lo! he comes with clouds descending,
once for favored sinners slain;
thousand, thousand saints attending
swell the triumph of his train.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
God appears on earth to reign.
Evry eye shall now behold him,
robed in dreadful majesty;
those who set at naught and sold him,
pierced, and nailed him to the tree,
deeply waning deeply waning
shall the true Messiah see.
Those dear tokens of his Passion
still his dazzling body bears,
cause of endless exultation
to his ransomed worshippers:
with what rapture…with what rapture…
gaze we on those glorious scars!
Yea, amen! let all adore thee,
high on thine eternal throne;
Savior take the power and glory,
claim the kingdom for thine own.
O come quickly, O come quickly;
Alleluia! come, Lord, come.
Amen
When the perishable puts on the imperishable,
and the mortal puts on immortality,
then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?”
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable
always abounding in the work of the Lord,
knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
