Carol: The Five Joys of the Virgin
Mary, for the love of theeBlithe and glad may we be,
And I shall sing as ye may see,
Sua quinque gaudia .
The first Joy was sent to thee
When Gabriel greeted thee
And said Hail Mary in chastity,
Officiaris gravida .
The second Joy was full good
When Christ took both flesh and blood
Without sorrow and changing of mood,
Enixa est puerpera .
The third Joy was of great might
When Jesu was on the Rood dight,
Dead and buried in all men's sight,
Surrexit die tertia .
The fourth Joy was without aye
When Jesu to Hell took the way
And with him come great array,
Ad coeli palacia .
The fifth Joy was on Holy Thursday,
Unto Heaven He took the way,
God and man, and so He is for aye,
Ascendit super sidera .English
