GENERAL, The Rosary, The Glorious Mysteries

By the first bright Easter Day

For the Joyful Mysteries see Hymn No.86

C. M. Caddell
From a Slovak Hymnal
Arr. by N. A. M.

Allegro moderato

1. The Resurrection

By the first bright Easter day,
When the stone was rolled away;
By the glory round Thee shed
At Thy rising from the dead.

Refrain
King of Glory, hear our cry;
Make us soon Thy joy to see,
Where enthroned in majesty
Countless angels sing to Thee.

2. The Ascension

By Thy parting blessing giv'n,
As Thou didst ascend to Heav'n,
By the cloud of living light
That received Thee out of sight.

3. The Descent of the Holy Ghost

By the rushing sound of might
Coming down from heaven's height;
By the cloven tongues of fire,
Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire.

4. The Assumption of our Lady

See the Virgin Mother rise,
Angels bear her to the skies;
Mount aloft, imperial Queen,
Plead on high the cause of men!

5. The Coronation of our Lady

Mary reigns upon the throne
Preordained for her alone;
Saints and angels round her sing,
Mother of our God and King.
