Víctimæ pascháli laudes

Víctimæ pascháli laudes ímmolent Christiáni. Agnus rédemit oves; Christus ínnocens Patri reconciliávit peccatóres. Mors et vita duéllo conflixére mirándo; dux vitæ mórtuus, regnat vivus. Dic nobis, María, quid vidísti in via? Sepúlcrum Christi vivéntis et glóriam vidi resurgéntis. Angélicos testes, sudárium et vestes. Surréxit Christus, spes mea: præcédet vos in Galilǽam. Scimus Christum surrexísse a mórtuis vere; tu nobis, victor Rex, miserére. Amen. Allelúia.

Christians, to the Paschal Victim offer your thankful praises
The Lamb the sheep redeemeth: Christ, who only is sinless,
Reconcileth sinners to the Father. Death and life contended
In that conflict stupendous: the Prince of Life, who died, deathless reigneth.
Speak, Mary, declaring what thou sawest wayfaring.
“The Tomb of Christ who now liveth: and likewise the glory of the Risen.
Bright Angels attesting, the shroud and napkin resting.
Yea, Christ my hope is arisen: to Galilee he goeth before you.”
We know that Christ is risen, henceforth ever living:
Have mercy, Victor King, pardon giving. Amen. Alleluia.
