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.

Dómine, ne in furóre tuo árguas me, * neque in ira tua corrípias me.

Quóniam fecísti iudícium meum et causam meam, * sedísti super thronum, qui iúdicas iustítiam.

Increpásti gentes, perdidísti ímpium; * nomen eórum deléstiin ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi.

Psállite Dómino, qui hábitat in Sion; * annuntiáte inter gentes stúdia eius.
Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
Quóniam requírens sánguinem recordátus est eórum, * non est oblítus clamórem páuperum.
For requiring their blood, he hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
Miserére mei, Dómine; † vide afflictiónem meam de inimícis meis, * qui exáltas me de portis mortis,
Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
ut annúntiem omnes laudatiónes tuas in portis fíliæ Sion, * exsúltem in salutári tuo.
Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
Infíxae sunt gentes in fóvea, quam fecérunt; † in láqueo isto, quem abscondérunt, * comprehénsus est pes eórum.
I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.
Manifestávit se Dóminus iudícium fáciens; * in opéribus mánuum suárum comprehénsus est peccátor.
The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
Converténtur peccatóres in inférnum, * omnes gentes, quæ obliviscúntur Deum.
The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God.
Quóniam non in finem oblívio erit páuperis; * exspectátio páuperum non períbit in ætérnum.
For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
Exsúrge, Dómine, non confortétur homo; * iudicéntur gentes in conspéctu tuo.
Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
Constítue, Dómine, terrórem super eos; * sciant gentes quóniam hómines sunt.
Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.

De Actibus Apostolórum 17, 1-18
Cum perambulássent Paulus et Silas Amphípolim et Apollóniam, venérunt Thessalonícam, ubi erat synagóga Iudæórum.
Secúndum consuetúdinem suam Paulus introívit ad Iudæos et per sábbata tria disserébat eis de Scriptúris adapériens et cómprobans quia Christum oportébat pati et resúrgere a mórtuis, et: «Hic est Christus, Iesus, quem ego annúntio vobis.» Et quidam ex eis credidérunt et adiúncti sunt Paulo et Silæ et de coléntibus Græcis multitúdo magna et mulíeres nóbiles non paucæ.
Zelántes autem Iudæi assumentésque de foro viros quosdam malos et turba facta concitavérunt civitátem, et assisténtes dómui Iásonis quærébant eos prodúcere in pópulum. Et cum non inveníssent eos, trahébant Iásonem et quosdam fratres ad politárchas clamántes: «Qui orbem concitavérunt, isti et huc venérunt, quos suscépit Iason; et hi omnes contra decréta Cæsaris fáciunt, regem álium dicéntes esse, Iesum.» Concitavérunt autem plebem et politárchas audiéntes hæc; et accépto satis ab Iásone et a céteris, dimisérunt eos.
Fratres vero conféstim per noctem dimisérunt Paulum et Silam in Beram; qui cum adveníssent, in synagógam Iudæórum introiérunt. Hi autem erant nobilióres eórum qui sunt Thessalonícæ, qui suscepérunt verbum cum omni aviditáte, cotídie scrutántes Scriptúras si hæc ita se habérent. Et multi quidem credidérunt ex eis et Græcárum mulíerum honestárum et virórum non pauci. Cum autem cognovíssent in Thessaloníca Iudæi quia et Beræ annuntiátum est a Paulo verbum Dei, venérunt et illuc commovéntes et turbántes multitúdinem. Statímque tunc Paulum dimisérunt fratres, ut iret usque ad mare; Silas autem et Timótheus remansérunt ibi. Qui autem deducébant Paulum, perduxérunt usque Athénas, et accépto mandáto ad Silam et Timótheum, ut quam celérrime venírent ad illum, profécti sunt.
Paulus autem cum Athénis eos exspectáret, irritabátur spíritus eius in ipso videns idololatríæ déditam civitátem. Disputábat ígitur in synagóga cum Iudæis et coléntibus et in foro per omnes dies ad eos qui áderant. Quidam autem ex Epicuréis et Stóicis philósophi disserébant cum eo. Et quidam dicébant: «Quid vult seminivérbius hic dícere?» álii vero: «Novórum dæmoniórum vidétur annuntiátor esse», quia Iesum et resurrectiónem evangelizábat.
r. Allelúia. Fac cum servo tuo secúndum mirabília tua, * Allelúia, allelúia, allelúia. v. Servus tuus sum ego, da mihi intelléctum ut discam mandáta tua. * Allelúia. v. Glória Patri. * Allelúia.
In secundo nocturno, anno II )
Ex Sermónibus sancti Odilónis abbátis (Sermo 8: PL 142, 1011.1012)
Pstquam Dóminus et Salvátor noster sacrosáncto suæ passiónis mortísque triúmpho, abólito peccáti chirógrapho, contríto mortis acúleo, dæmoníacæ crudelitátis destrúxit tyránnidem, humánum genus, quod tenebátur morte captívum, solus inter mórtuos liber, morte subácta réddidit líberum. Corpus vero quod sine peccáti discrímine ex Vírgine sumpsit, quodque pro nobis assúmptæ mortalitátis, non necessitáte, sed potestáte légibus súbdidit, ab ínferis rédiens, apostolórum conspéctibus resurrectiónis glória clarificátum et, ut ita dicam, redivívum osténdit.
Apostolórum príncipi Petro Dóminum apparuísse non est dúbium, sed apostólica relatióne et evangélica descriptióne créditur esse certíssimum. Vóluit ei Dóminus præ céteris apóstolis singuláriter apparére, ne desperáret ex negatióne. Nóluit illum diu remanére suspéctum, ne desperáret se posse percípere apostólici cúlminis privilégium. Idcírco illum Dóminus cádere permísit, sicut festívus concionátor Gregórius dixit, ut ex colláto sibi múnere dísceret quáliter áliis miseréri debuísset.
Nos enim, fratres caríssimi, per amaritúdinem acerbíssimæ passiónis, Dóminum Iesum Christum, pervenísse crédimus ad glóriam resurrectiónis. Hanc autem resurrectiónem domínici córporis, ut futúram in nobis certíssime novérimus ipse in córpore suo dignátus est demonstráre. Resurréxit Christus, ut resurrectúrum se non dúbitet christiánus. Procéssu vero témporis, perácto mystério suæ resurrectiónis, Dóminus Iesus Christus ad cælos ascéndit, ut eo christiánus ascéndere se posse confídat, ubi caput suum se præcessísse non dúbitat.
r. Surréxit Dóminus de sepúlcro, allelúia, * Qui pro nobis pepéndit in ligno, allelúia, allelúia, allelúia. v. Læténtur cæli et exsúltet terra ante fáciem Dómini. * Qui. v. Glória Patri. * Qui.
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.
