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.

Lectio brevis (Act 10,40-43)
Deus suscitávit Iesum tértia die et dedit eum maniféstum fíeri, non omni pópulo sed téstibus præordinátis a Deo, nobis, qui manducávimus et bíbimus cum illo postquam resurréxit a mórtuis; et præcépit nobis prædicáre pópulo et testificári quia ipse est, qui constitútus est a Deo iudex vivórum et mortuórum. Huic omnes Prophétæ testimónium pérhibent remissiónem peccatórum accípere per nomen eius omnes, qui credunt in eum.
God raised Jesus on the third day, and allowed Him to manifest Himself, not to all the people, but to God's pre-chosen witnesses; to us, who ate and drank with Him, after He rose from the dead. And He has commanded us to preach and testify to the people that it is He who has been appointed by God to judge the living and the dead. All the prophets testify to Him that all who believe in Him receive remission of sins through His name.
