1. With
harmonious joy, with sadness repelled,
the Church recalls Mary’s praise: O Virgin Mary!
2. Who,
with happy joy - the Lord having risen -
flowered like a lily, beholding her Son alive. O Virgin Mary!
3. O how the celestial choruses
sing praise with equal concert, and we,
together with the dwellers in heaven,
compose a new melody:
O Virgin Mary!
4. O Queen of virgins, be favorable to the prayers of your suppliants,
and after the circuit of death, confer the prize of life: O Virgin Mary!
5. O glorious Trinity, indivisible Unity,
on account of Mary’s merits, save us throughout the ages:
O Virgin Mary!
