THE REGINA COELI

1. O glorious Queen of heaven
May your loving heart
Rejoice!
May it leap for joy,
Jesus is risen!
O most blessed truth!

Let us all sing ALLELUIA!
And then, Ave Maria!

2. Our sins are forgiven,
The devils are crushed,
Jesus, clothed in glory,
Has won victory over them all.
The proud are humbled,
They will not rise again.

Let us all sing ALLELUIA!
And then, Ave Maria!

3. He has closed hell,
Freed our fathers from chains,
Opened eternal glory and
Won universal peace.
At last, Jesus is Conqueror
For the salvation of sinners.

Let us all sing ALLELUIA!
And then, Ave Maria!

4. O Mother of Fair Love
Thrill with joy on this day.
May the angels, may man,
May all of us, just as we are,
Each respond in turn and
Solemnly celebrate this day

By singing ALLELUIA!
And then, Ave Maria!

5. O worthy Mother of God,
May all things praise you everywhere!
O most glorious Virgin,
A thousand times blest
For having borne
This triumphant King of majesty.

Let us all sing ALLELUIA!
And then, Ave Maria!

6. Obtain for us from Jesus
A share of all his virtues,
A share of his new life,
So that everyone may proclaim
For all eternity:
JESUS IS RISEN!

By singing ALLELUIA!
And then, Ave Maria!
