Victimae paschali laudes
immolent Christiani.

Agnus redemit oves:
Christus innocens Patri
reconciliavit peccatores.

Mors et vita duello
conflixere mirando:
dux vitae mortuus,
regnat vivus.

Dic nobis Maria,
quid vidisti in via?

Sepulcrum Christi viventis,
et gloriam vidi resurgentis

Angelicos testes,
sudarium, et vestes.

Surrexit Christus spes mea:
praecedet suos [vos] in Galilaeam.

[Credendum est magis soli
Mariae veraci
Quam Judaeorum Turbae fallaci.]

Scimus Christum surrexisse
a mortuis vere:
tu nobis, victor Rex, miserere.
[Amen.] [Alleluia.]

Let Christians offer sacrificial
praises to the passover victim.

The lamb has redeemed the sheep:
The Innocent Christ has reconciled
the sinners to the Father.

Death and life contended
in a spectacular battle:
the dead leader of life
reigns alive.

Tell us, Mary, what did
you see on the way?

“I saw the tomb of the living Christ
and the glory of his rising,

The angelic witnesses, the
shroud, and the clothes.”

“Christ my hope is arisen;
he will go before his own [you] into Galilee.”

[More to be believed is
truthful Mary by herself
than the deceitful crowd of the Jews.]

We know Christ is truly risen from the dead!
On us, you conqueror, King, have mercy!
Amen. [Alleluia.]
