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.

Commóta est et contrémuit terra; † fundaménta móntium concússa sunt et commóta sunt, * quóniam irátus est.
The earth shook and trembled: the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.
Ascéndit fumus de náribus eius, † et ignis de ore eius dévorans; * carbónes succénsi processérunt ab eo.
There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: coals were kindled by it.
Inclinávit cælos et descéndit, * et calígo sub pédibus eius.
He bowed the heavens, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
Et ascéndit super cherub et volávit, * ferebátur super pennas ventórum.
And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.
Et pósuit ténebras latíbulum suum, † in circúitu eius tabernáculum eius, * tenebrósa aqua, nubes áeris.
And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.
Præ fulgóre in conspéctu eius nubes transiérunt, * grando et carbónes ignis.
At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
Et intónuit de cælo Dóminus, † et Altíssimus dedit vocem suam: * grando et carbónes ignis.

De Actibus Apostolórum 18, 1-28
Discédens Paulus ab Athénis venit Corínthum. Et invéniens quendam Iudæum nómine Aquilam, Pónticum génere, qui nuper vénerat ab Itália, et Priscíllam uxórem eius, eo quod præcepísset Cláudius discédere omnes Iudæos a Roma, accéssit ad eos, et quia eiúsdem erat artis, manébat apud eos et operabátur; erant autem scenofactóriæ artis. Disputábat autem in synagóga per omne sábbatum suadebátque Iudæis et Græcis. Cum veníssent autem de Macedónia Silas et Timótheus, instábat verbo Paulus testíficans Iudæis esse Christum Iesum. Contradicéntibus autem eis et blasphemántibus, excútiens vestiménta dixit ad eos: «Sanguis vester super caput vestrum! Mundus ego. Ex hoc nunc ad gentes vadam.» Et migrans inde intrávit in domum cuiúsdam nómine Titi Iusti, coléntis Deum, cuius domus erat coniúncta synagógæ.
Crispus archisynagógus crédidit Dómino cum omni domo sua, et multi Corinthiórum audiéntes credébant et baptizabántur. Dixit autem Dóminus nocte per visiónem Paulo: «Noli timére, sed lóquere et ne táceas, quia ego sum tecum, et nemo apponétur tibi ut nóceat te, quóniam pópulus est mihi multus in hac civitáte.» Sedit autem annum et sex menses docens apud eos verbum Dei.
Gallióne autem procónsule Acháiæ, insurrexérunt uno ánimo Iudæi in Paulum et adduxérunt eum ad tribúnal dicéntes: «Contra legem hic persuádet homínibus cólere Deum.» Incipiénte autem Paulo aperíre os, dixit Gállio ad Iudæos: «Si quidem esset iníquum áliquid aut fácinus péssimum, o Iudæi, mérito vos sustinérem; si vero quæstiónes sunt de verbo et nomínibus et lege vestra, vos ipsi vidéritis; iudex ego horum nolo esse.» Et minávit eos a tribunáli. Apprehendéntes autem omnes Sósthenen, príncipem synagógæ, percutiébant ante tribúnal; et nihil horum Gallióni curæ erat.
Paulus vero, cum adhuc sustinuísset dies multos, frátribus valefáciens navigábat Sýriam, et cum eo Priscílla et Aquila, qui sibi totónderat in Cénchreis caput; habébat enim votum. Devenerúntque Ephesum, et illos ibi relíquit, ipse vero ingréssus synagógam disputábat cum Iudæis. Rogántibus autem eis, ut amplióre témpore manéret, non consénsit, sed valefáciens et dicens: «Iterum revértar ad vos Deo volénte», navigávit ab Epheso; et descéndens Cæsaréam ascéndit et salutávit ecclésiam et descéndit Antiochíam. Et facto ibi aliquánto témpore, proféctus est perámbulans ex órdine Galáticam regiónem et Phrýgiam, confírmans omnes discípulos.
Iudæus autem quidam Apóllo nómine, Alexandrínus natióne, vir éloquens, devénit Ephesum, potens in Scriptúris. Hic erat catechizátus viam Dómini et fervens spíritu loquebátur et docébat diligénter ea quæ sunt de Iesu, sciens tantum baptísma Ioánnis. Hic ergo cœpit fiduciáliter ágere in synagóga; quem cum audíssent Priscílla et Aquila, assumpsérunt eum et diligéntius exposuérunt ei viam Dei. Cum autem vellet transíre in Acháiam, exhortáti fratres scripsérunt discípulis ut suscíperent eum; qui cum venísset, cóntulit multum his qui credíderant per grátiam; veheménter enim Iudæos revincébat públice osténdens per Scriptúras esse Christum Iesum.
r. Allelúia. Audívimus eum in Ephrata, invénimus eum in campis silvæ; * Introívimus in tabernáculum eius, adorávimus in loco ubi stetérunt pedes eius, allelúia, allelúia. v. Surge, Dómine, in réquiem tuam, tu et arca sanctificatiónis tuæ. * Introívimus. v. Glória Patri. * Introívimus.
In secundo nocturno, anno II )
Ex Tractátu sancti Basílii Magni epíscopi De Spíritu Sancto (Cap. 9, 22.23: PG 32, 107-110)
Quis, audítis Spíritus appellatiónibus, ánimo non erígitur, et ad suprémam natúram cogitatiónem non attóllit? Nam Spíritus Dei dictus est, et Spíritus veritátis, qui ex Patre procédit, Spíritus rectus, Spíritus principális. Spíritus Sanctus, própria est illíus ac peculiáris appellátio. Ad quem ómnia convertúntur quæ egent sanctificatióne: quem ómnia áppetunt iuxta virtútem vivéntia, cuius afflátu velut irrigántur et adiuvántur, ut pervéniant ad próprium suum naturalémque finem.
Orígo sanctificatiónis, lux intellegíbilis; univérsæ poténtiæ rationáli ad veritátis investigatiónem velut illustratiónem quamdam ex sese præbens. Natúra inaccéssus, sed qui capi possit ob benignitátem; ómnia quidem implens virtúte, sed solis iis qui digni sunt communicábilis, quibus sese non eádem impértit mensúra, sed iuxta proportiónem fídei dispertítur vim suam. Simplex esséntia, várius poténtiis; qui síngulis totus adest, et totus ubíque est. Qui sic divíditur, ut ipse nihil patiátur; cuius sic omnes partícipes sunt, ut ipse máneat ínteger, rádii soláris in morem, cuius benefícium fruénti tamquam uni adest, et tamen terram ac mare illústrat, miscetúrque áeri.
Sic et Spíritus Sanctus, unicuíque capácium cum adsit quasi soli, sufficiéntem ómnibus grátiam ac íntegram infúndit: quo fruúntur quæcúmque de illo partícipant, quantum ipsis fas est natúra, non quantum ille potest. Per hunc corda sustollúntur in altum, manu ducúntur infírmi, proficiéntes perficiúntur. Hic eis qui ab omni sorde purgáti sunt illucéscens, per communiónem, quam cum ipso habent, spiritáles reddit.
r. Surréxit Christus, et illúxit pópulo suo * Quem redémit sánguine suo, allelúia, allelúia. v. Vos autem genus eléctum, regále sacerdótium, gens sancta, pópulus acquisitiónis, * Quem redémit. v. Glória Patri. * Quem redémit.
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.
