Original text and translations

German text 1. Laßt uns erfreuen herzlich sehr, Maria seufzt und weint nicht mehr! Alleluja! Verschwunden sind die Nebel all, jetzt glänzt der lieben Sonne Strahl, O lobt Ihn: Alleluja! 2. Wo ist, o freudenreiches Herz, wo ist dein Weh, wo ist dein Schmerz? Alleluja! Wie wohl ist dir, o Herz, wie wohl, nun bist du aller Freuden voll! O lobt Ihn: Alleluja! 2.  3. Sag an, Maria, Jungfrau rein, kommt das nicht von dem Sohne dein? Alleluja! Ach ja, dein Sohn erstanden ist. Kein Wunder, daß du fröhlich bist. O lobt Ihn: Alleluja! 4. Aus seinen Wunden fließen her fünf Freudenseen, fünf Freudenmeer. Alleluja! Die Freud sich über dich ergoß und durch dein Herz die Freude floß. O lobt Ihn: Alleluja!

English text 1  Ye watchers and ye holy ones, Bright seraphs, cherubim and thrones, Raise the glad strain, Alleluia! Cry out, dominions, princedoms, powers, Virtues, archangels, angels’ choirs: R:  Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 2  O higher than the cherubim, More glorious than the seraphim, Lead their praises, Alleluia! Thou bearer of th’eternal Word, Most gracious, magnify the Lord. R:  3  Respond, ye souls in endless rest, Ye patriarchs and prophets blest, Alleluia! Alleluia! Ye holy twelve, ye martyrs strong, All saints triumphant, raise the song. R:  4  :O friends, in gladness let us sing, Supernal anthems echoing, Alleluia! Alleluia! To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One. R:

Portuguese text 1.  Fazei de_hosanas retumbar, aleluia! O_espaço todo_a terra_o mar, aleluia! Ressuscitou nosso Senhor, aleluia! Surgiu do mundo vencedor, aleluia. 2.  Da sepultura_ei-lo_a sair, aleluia! Os guardas todos a fugir, aleluia! No rosto seu tais brilhos há, aleluia! Que_o sol os não igualará, aleluia. 3.  Dos seus martírios os sinais, aleluia! Lauréis tornaram-se_imortais, aleluia! As cinco chagas de rubi, aleluia! São joias de valor sem fim, aleluia. 4.  A cruz outrora_era_um labéu, aleluia! Tornou-se_um símbolo do céu, aleluia! De mil idades através, aleluia! Curvou-se_o mundo aos seus pés, aleluia. 5.  Do fundo da_alma Lhe dizei, aleluia! Salve_ó, Jesus, divino Rei, aleluia! Que transformou em trono_a cruz, aleluia! Ó salve, salve, bom Jesus, aleluia.
