Hymnus
Hæc hora, quæ resplénduit crucísque solvit núbila, mundum tenébris éxuens, reddens seréna lúmina.
This hour shines forth
And dissolves the black clouds of the cross,
Rescues the world from darkness
And returns the light of peace.
Hæc hora, qua resúscitans Iesus sepúlcris córpora, prodíre mortis líbera iussit refúso spíritu.
This is the hour when Jesus
Raises the bodies from the tombs
And commands that they come forth free of death
And infused again with breath.
Nováta sæcla crédimus mortis solútis légibus, vitæ beátæ múnera cursum perénnem cúrrere.
We believe in a new world,
loosened from the laws of death,
the gifts of blessed life
running an eternal course.
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.

Lectio brevis (1 Cor 5, 7-8)
Expurgáte vetus ferméntum, ut sitis nova conspársio, sicut estis ázymi. Etenim Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus! Itaque festa celebrémus, non in ferménto véteri neque in ferménto malítiæ et nequítiæ, sed in ázymis sinceritátis et veritátis.
Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you are unleavened. For Christ our pasch is sacrificed. Therefore let us feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
v. Hæc dies quam fecit Dóminus, allelúia. r. Exsultémus et lætémur in ea, allelúia.
Orémus.
Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
After this the proper prayer is said straightway and without "Let us pray", with the long conclusion.
Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui paschále sacraméntum in reconciliatiónis humánæ fœdere contulísti, da méntibus nostris, ut, quod professióne celebrámus, imitémur efféctu.
Almighty and eternal God, who through the mystery of the Passover has formed a pact of reconciliation with humanity; grant us to reproduce in our actions the truths we profess on this feast.
Dóminus vobíscum.
The Lord be with thee.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
r. And with thy spirit.
Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
May God Almighty bless thee, the Father, ✠ and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
r. Amen.
r. Amen.
Vel alia formula benedictionis, sicut in Missa.
Or another formula of blessing, as at Mass.
Et si fit dimissio, sequitur invitatio:
And if we make a referral, we add the invitation:
Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:
In the absence of a deacon or a priest, and in the recitation alone, it is concluded thus:
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. r. Amen.
May the Lord bless us, forbid us from all evil, and bring us to eternal life. r. Amen.
