Hymnus

Ad cenam Agni próvidi, stolis salútis cándidi, post tránsitum maris Rubri Christo canámus príncipi.

Cuius corpus sanctíssimum in ara crucis tórridum, sed et cruórem róseum gustándo, Deo vívimus.

Protécti paschæ véspero a devastánte ángelo, de Pharaónis áspero sumus erépti império.

Iam pascha nostrum Christus est, agnus occísus innocens; sinceritátis ázyma qui carnem suam óbtulit.

O vera, digna hóstia, per quam frangúntur tártara, captíva plebs redímitur, reddúntur vitæ præmia!

Consúrgit Christus túmulo, victor redit de bárathro, tyránnum trudens vínculo et paradísum réserans.

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 Christo, servo Dei

Christ, servant of God

Christus Iesus, cum in forma Dei esset, * non rapínam arbitrátus est esse se æquálem Deo,

Christ Jesus, although He was in the condition of God, did not retain of Himself His equality with God,

sed semetípsum exinanívit formam servi accípiens,† in similitúdinem hóminum factus; * et hábitu invéntus ut homo,

but He emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, making Himself like men; recognized as a man by all that has appeared of Him,

humiliávit semetípsum † factus obœdiens usque ad mortem, * mortem autem crucis.

He humbled Himself, making Himself obedient unto death, and unto the death of the cross.

Propter quod et Deus illum exaltávit † et donávit illi nomen, * quod est super omne nomen,

Wherefore also God has exalted Him, and has given Him the name which is above every name,

ut in nómine Iesu omne genu flectátur * cæléstium et terréstrium et infernórum

so that in the Name of Jesus every knee may bow in heaven and on earth and in hell,

et omnis língua confiteátur: * «Dóminus Iesus Christus!», in glóriam Dei Patris.

Lectio brevis (1 Petr 2, 9-10)

Vos genus eléctum, regále sacerdótium, gens sancta, pópulus in acquisitiónem, ut virtútes annuntiétis eius, qui de ténebris vos vocávit in admirábile lumen suum; qui aliquándo non pópulus, nunc autem pópulus Dei; qui non consecúti misericórdiam nunc autem misericórdiam consecúti.

You are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Who in time past were not a people: but are now the people of God. Who had not obtained mercy; but now have obtained mercy.

Preces

Christum, qui resúrgens a mórtuis mortem destrúxit vitámque renovávit, instánter invocémus:

Let us invoke Christ who, having risen from the dead, has destroyed death and given us new life, and let us say:

Christe, semper vivens, exáudi nos.

Thou who live forevermore, hearken unto us, Lord.

Tu, lapis, quem reprobavérunt ædificántes, factus es in caput ánguli;
— nos in Ecclésia tua ut lápides vivos ædífica.
Tu, testis fidélis et verus, primogénitus ex mórtuis,
— tuæ tríbue Ecclésiæ te indesinénter testificári.
Tu, únice sponse Ecclésiæ e látere tuo exórtæ,
— redde nos nuptiális illíus testes sacraménti.
Qui es primus et novíssimus, fuísti mórtuus et vivis,
— baptizátos serva usque ad mortem fidéles, ut corónam accípere mereántur.
Tu, lux et lucérna sanctæ Dei civitátis,
— defúnctos nostros illústra, ut in perpétuum regnent.

Thou who are the stone rejected by the architects, but transformed into a cornerstone, - make us living stones of Thy Church. Thou who are a faithful and truthful witness, the firstborn from the dead, - may Thy Church evermore bear witness to Thou before the world. Thou who are the only spouse of the Church, born from Thy side, - may we all be witnesses to this nuptial mystery. Thou who are the first and the last, who died and now lives forevermore and ever, - grant that all the baptized may persevere faithful unto death, that they may receive the crown of victory. Thou who are the lamp that illuminates God's holy city, - illuminate our deceased with Thy brightness, that they may reign in eternity.

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.

Fac nos, omnípotens Deus, hos lætítiæ dies, quos in honórem Dómini resurgéntis exséquimur, afféctu sédulo celebráre, † ut quod recordatióne percúrrimus * semper in ópere teneámus. Per Dóminum.
