Hymnus
Ad cenam Agni próvidi, stolis salútis cándidi, post tránsitum maris Rubri Christo canámus príncipi.
Cuius corpus sanctíssimum in ara crucis tórridum, sed et cruórem róseum gustándo, Deo vívimus.
Protécti paschæ véspero a devastánte ángelo, de Pharaónis áspero sumus erépti império.
Iam pascha nostrum Christus est, agnus occísus innocens; sinceritátis ázyma qui carnem suam óbtulit.
O vera, digna hóstia, per quam frangúntur tártara, captíva plebs redímitur, reddúntur vitæ præmia!
Consúrgit Christus túmulo, victor redit de bárathro, tyránnum trudens vínculo et paradísum réserans.
Esto perénne méntibus paschále, Iesu, gáudium et nos renátos grátiæ tuis triúmphis ággrega.
Lord Jesus, grant unto our souls Eternal paschal joy, we pray, And grant a share in victory To those reborn by grace today.
Iesu, tibi sit glória, qui morte victa prǽnites, cum Patre et almo Spíritu, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.
All glory, Jesus, be to thee, The conqueror whom we adore, The Father and the Spirit blest Who reign with thee for evermore.
