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 thee, The conqueror whom we adore, The Father and the Spirit blest Who reign with thee for evermore.

Messias rex et sacerdos
The messiah, king and priest
Oportet illum regnare, donec ponat omnes inimicos sub pedibus eius (1 Cor 15, 25).
He must reign, having put all His enemies under His feet (1 Cor 15:25).
Dixit Dóminus Dómino meo: * «Sede a dextris meis,
The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand:
donec ponam inimícos tuos * scabéllum pedum tuórum».
Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
Virgam poténtiæ tuæ emíttet Dóminus ex Sion: * domináre in médio inimicórum tuórum.
The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.
Tecum principátus in die virtútis tuæ, † in splendóribus sanctis, * ex útero ante lucíferum génui te.
With thee is the principality in the day of thy strength: in the brightness of the saints: from the womb before the day star I begot thee.
Iurávit Dóminus et non pænitébit eum: * «Tu es sacérdos in ætérnum secúndum órdinem Melchísedech».
The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.
Dóminus a dextris tuis, * conquassábit in die iræ suæ reges.
The Lord at thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of his wrath.
[Iudicábit in natiónibus: cumulántur cadávera, * conquassábit cápita in terra spatiósa.]
He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: he shall crush the heads in the land of many.
De torrénte in via bibet, * proptérea exaltábit caput.
He shall drink of the torrent in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

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.
Ye 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.
