Hymnus
Auróra lucis rútilat, cælum resúltat láudibus, mundus exsúltans iúbilat, gemens inférnus úlulat,
Cum rex ille fortíssimus, mortis confráctis víribus, pede concúlcans tártara solvit caténa míseros.
Ille, quem clausum lápide miles custódit ácriter, triúmphans pompa nóbili, victor surgit de fúnere.
Inférni iam gemítibus solútis et dolóribus, quia surréxit Dóminus respléndens clamat ángelus.
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 prænites, cum Patre et almo Spíritu, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.
All glory, Jesus, be to you, The conqueror whom we adore, The Father and the Spirit blest Who reign with you for evermore.

Deus, Deus meus es tu, * ad te de luce vígilo.
O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day.
Sitívit in te ánima mea, * te desiderávit caro mea.
For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
In terra desérta et árida et inaquósa, † sic in sancto appárui tibi, * ut vidérem virtútem tuam et glóriam tuam.
In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
Quóniam mélior est misericórdia tua super vitas, * lábia mea laudábunt te.
For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.
Sic benedícam te in vita mea * et in nómine tuo levábo manus meas.
Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
Sicut ádipe et pinguédine repleátur ánima mea, * et lábiis exsultatiónis laudábit os meum.
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
Cum memor ero tui super stratum meum, * in matutínis meditábor de te,
If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
quia fuísti adiútor meus, * et in velaménto alárum tuárum exsultábo.
because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
Adhæsit ánima mea post te, * me suscépit déxtera tua.
my soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
[Ipsi vero in ruínam quæsiérunt ánimam meam, * introíbunt in inferióra terræ,
[But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
tradéntur in potestátem gládii, * partes vúlpium erunt.
They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
Rex vero lætábitur in Deo; † gloriabúntur omnes, qui iúrant in eo, * quia obstrúctum est os loquéntium iníqua.]
But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.]

Lectio brevis (Act 13, 30-33)
Deus suscitávit Iesum a mórtuis; qui visus est per dies multos his, qui simul ascénderant cum eo de Galilæa in Ierúsalem, qui nunc sunt testes eius ad plebem. Et nos vobis evangelizámus eam, quæ ad patres promíssio facta est, quóniam hanc Deus adimplévit fíliis eórum, nobis resúscitans Iesum, sicut et in Psalmo secúndo scriptum est: Fílius meus es tu; ego hódie génui te.
But God raised him up from the dead the third day: Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people.
