Chorus novæ Ierúsalem hymni novam dulcédinem promat, colens cum sóbriis paschále festum gáudiis,
Quo Christus invíctus leo, dracóne surgens óbruto, dum voce viva pérsonat, a morte functos éxcitat.

Ipsum canéndo súpplices Regem precémur mílites, ut in suo claríssimo nos órdinet palátio.
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.
