Hymnus
Lætáre, cælum, désuper, appláude, tellus ac mare: Christus resúrgens post crucem vitam dedit mortálibus.
Iam tempus accéptum redit, dies salútis cérnitur, quo mundus Agni sánguine refúlsit a calígine.
Mors illa, mortis pássio, est críminis remíssio; illæ ́ sa virtus pérmanet, victus dedit victóriam.
Nostræ fuit gustus spei hic, ut fidéles créderent se posse post resúrgere, vitam beátam súmere.
Nunc ergo pascha cándidum causa bonórum tálium colámus omnes strénue tanto repléti múnere.
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 you, The conqueror whom we adore, The Father and the Spirit blest Who reign with you for evermore.

De Actibus Apostolórum
Cum impleréntur autem dies multi, consílium fecérunt Iudæi, ut Saulum interfícerent; notæ autem factæ sunt ei insídiæ eórum. Custodiébant autem et portas die ac nocte, ut eum interfícerent; accipiéntes autem discípuli eius nocte per murum dimisérunt eum submitténtes in sporta.
Cum venísset Saulus in Ierúsalem, tentábat iúngere se discípulis; et omnes timébant eum, non credéntes quia esset discípulus. Bárnabas autem apprehénsum illum duxit ad apóstolos et narrávit illis quómodo in via vidísset Dóminum, et quia locútus est ei, et quómodo in Damásco fiduciáliter égerit in nómine Iesu. Et erat cum illis intrans et éxiens in Ierúsalem, fiduciáliter agens in nómine Dómini.
Loquebátur quoque et disputábat cum Græcis; illi autem quærébant occídere eum. Quod cum cognovíssent, fratres deduxérunt eum Cæsaréam et dimisérunt Tarsum. Ecclésia quidem per totam Iudæam et Galil am et Samaríam habébat pacem, ædificabátur et ambulábat in timóre Dómini et consolatióne Sancti Spíritus crescébat. Factum est autem Petrum, dum pertransíret univérsos, deveníre et ad sanctos qui habitábant Lyddæ. Invénit autem ibi hóminem quendam nómine Ænéam ab annis octo iacéntem in grabáto, qui erat paralýticus. Et ait illi Petrus: " Ænéa, sanat te Iesus Christus; surge et sterne tibi. " Et contínuo surréxit. Et vidérunt illum omnes qui inhabitábant Lyddam et Saron, qui convérsi sunt ad Dóminum.
In Ioppe autem erat quædam discípula nómine Tabítha, quæ interpretáta dícitur Dorcas; hæc erat plena opéribus bonis et eleemósynis quas faciébat. Factum est autem in diébus illis ut infirmáta morerétur; quam cum lavíssent posuérunt in cenáculo. Cum autem prope esset Lydda ab Ioppe, discípuli audiéntes quia Petrus esset in ea, misérunt duos viros ad eum rogántes: " Ne pigritéris veníre usque ad nos! " Exsúrgens autem Petrus venit cum illis; et cum advenísset, duxérunt illum in cenáculum et circumstetérunt illum omnes víduæ flentes et ostendéntes túnicas et vestes quas faciébat Dorcas, cum esset cum illis. Eiéctis autem ómnibus foras Petrus, et ponens génua orávit et convérsus ad corpus dixit: " Tabítha, surge! " At illa apéruit óculos suos et, viso Petro, resédit. Dans autem illi manum eréxit eam et, cum vocásset sanctos et víduas exhíbuit eam vivam. Notum autem factum est per univérsam Ioppen, et credidérunt multi in Dómino. Factum est autem ut dies multos morarétur in Ioppe apud quendam Simónem coriárium.
r. Audívi vocem de cælo tamquam vocem tonítrui magni, allelúia: * Regnábit Deus noster in ætérnum, allelúia, quia facta est salus et virtus et potéstas Christi eius, allelúia, allelúia. v. Vidi ángelum Dei volántem per médium cæli, voce magna clamántem et dicéntem: * Regnábit. v. Glória Patri. * Regnábit.

Ex Tractátibus sancti Gaudéntii Brixiénsis epíscopi (Tract. 2: CSEL 68, 30-32)
Sacrifícium cæléste a Christo institútum vere est hereditárium munus Testaménti eius Novi, quod nobis ea nocte qua tradebátur crucifigéndus, tamquam pignus suæ præséntiæ derelíquit. Hoc illud est viáticum nostri itíneris, quo in hac via vitæ álimur ac nutrímur, donec ad ipsum pergámus de hoc sæculo recedéntes; unde dicébat idem Dóminus: Nisi manducavéritis meam carnem et bibéritis meum sánguinem, non habébitis vitam in vobis ipsis.
Vóluit enim benefícia sua permanére apud nos, vóluit ánimas pretióso sánguine suo redémptas, semper sanctificári per imáginem própriæ passiónis; et ídeo discípulis fidélibus mandat, quos primos et Ecclésiæ suæ constítuit sacerdótes, ut indesinénter ista vitæ ætérnæ mystéria exercérent, quæ necésse est a cunctis sacerdótibus per síngulas totíus orbis Ecclésias celebrári, úsquequo íterum Christus de cælis advéniat, quo et ipsi sacerdótes et omnes páriter fidélium pópuli, exémplar passiónis Christi ante óculos habéntes cotídie, et geréntes in mánibus, ore étiam suméntes ac péctore, redemptiónis nostræ indelébilem memóriam teneámus.
Quóniam panem de multis trítici granis in póllinem redáctis per aquam cónfici et per ignem necésse est consummári, rationabíliter in eo figúra accípitur córporis Christi, quem nóvimus ex multitúdine totíus humáni géneris unum esse corpus efféctum et per ignem Sancti Spíritus consummátum. Simíliter et sánguinis eius vinum ex plúribus ácinis víneæ ab ipso plantátæ colléctum in torculári crucis exprímitur, et per capácia vasa fidéli corde suméntium própria virtúte fervéscit.
r. Et incípiens a Móyse et ómnibus prophétis, * Interpretabátur illis Scriptúras quæ de ipso erant, allelúia. v. O stulti et tardi corde ad credéndum in ómnibus quæ locúti sunt prophétæ! * Interpretabátur. v. Glória Patri. * Interpretabátur.
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.
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.
