QUEEN OF HEAVEN, REJOICE

Oueen of heaven rejoice, allelu, alleluia,

For the Son you were worthy to bear,

Has now risen indeed as he said, alleluia,

Dearest Mother, your gladness we share.

Rejoice, rejoice, be glad, Virgin Mary

For the Lord is risen indeed, alleluia (2).

When a woman declared you were blest of all mothers

Jesus said that you were from the start

The best listener of all and his truest disciple

For you treasured his word in your heart.

We remember your prayer for the starving, the lowly,

Your concern for the poor of our race.

While the people proclaim you: "Most blest among women",

Let the angels sing: "Hail, full of grace".
