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.

terram fructíferam in salsúginem * a malítia inhabitántium in ea.

De libro Apocalýpsis beáti Ioánnis apóstoli
Ego Ioánnes vidi, et datus est mihi cálamus símilis virgæ dicens: " Surge et metíre templum Dei et altáre et adorántes in eo. Atrium autem quod est foris templum, éice foras et ne metiáris illud, quóniam datum est géntibus, et civitátem sanctam calcábunt ménsibus quadragínta duóbus. Et dabo duóbus téstibus meis, et prophetábunt diébus mille ducéntis sexagínta amícti saccis. " Hi sunt duæ olívæ et duo candelábra in conspéctu Dómini terræ stantes. Et si quis eis vult nocére, ignis exit de ore illórum et dévorat inimícos eórum; et si quis volúerit eos lædere, sic opórtet eum occídi. Hi habent potestátem claudéndi cælum, ne pluat plúvia diébus prophetíæ ipsórum, et potestátem habent super aquas converténdi eas in sánguinem et percútere terram omni plaga, quotiescúmque volúerint. Et cum finíerint testimónium suum, béstia quæ ascéndit de abýsso, fáciet advérsus illos bellum et vincet eos et occídet illos. Et corpus eórum in platéa civitátis magnæ, quæ vocátur spiritáliter Sódoma et Ægýptus, ubi et Dóminus eórum crucifíxus est; et vident de pópulis et tríbubus et linguis et géntibus corpus eórum per tres dies et dimídium, et córpora eórum non sinunt poni in monuménto.
Et inhabitántes terram gaudent super illis et iucundántur et múnera mittent ínvicem, quóniam hi duo prophétæ cruciavérunt eos qui inhábitant super terram.Et post dies tres et dimídium spíritus vitæ a Deo intrávit in eos, et stetérunt super pedes suos; et timor magnus cécidit super eos qui vidébant eos. Et audiérunt vocem magnam de cælo dicéntem illis: " Ascéndite huc "; et ascendérunt in cælum in nube, et vidérunt illos inimíci eórum. Et in illa hora factus est terræmótus magnus, et décima pars civitátis cécidit, et occísi sunt in terræmótu nómina hóminum septem mília, et réliqui in timórem sunt missi et dedérunt glóriam Deo cæli. Væ secúndum ábiit; ecce væ tértium venit cito.
Séptimus ángelus tuba cécinit, et factæ sunt voces magnæ in cælo dicéntes: " Factum est regnum huius mundi Dómini nostri et Christi eius, et regnábit in sæcula sæculórum. " Et vigínti quáttuor senióres, qui in conspéctu Dei sedent in thronis suis, cecidérunt super fácies suas et adoravérunt Deum dicéntes: " Grátias ágimus tibi, Dómine, Deus omnípotens, qui es et qui eras, quia accepísti virtútem tuam magnam et regnásti.
Et irátæ sunt gentes, et advénit ira tua, et tempus mortuórum iudicári et réddere mercédem servis tuis prophétis et sanctis et timéntibus nomen tuum, pusíllis et magnis, et extermináre eos qui extérminant terram. " Et apértum est templum Dei in cælo, et visa est arca testaménti eius in templo eius; et facta sunt fúlgura et voces et terræmótus et grando magna.
r. Ecce vicit leo de tribu Iuda, radix David, aperíre librum, et sólvere septem signácula eius: * Allelúia, allelúia, allelúia. v. Et unus de senióribus dixit mihi: Ne fléveris! Dignus est Agnus qui occísus est accípere potestátem et fortitúdinem. * Allelúia. v. Glória Patri. * Allelúia.
In secundo nocturno, anno I)
Ex Homilíis Amedæi Lausannénsis epíscopi (Hom. 7: SC 72, 182-184)
Cogitánti mihi et sæpius ánimo tractánti Dei Genetrícis assumptiónem quædam quæstio occúrrit ánimo, quæ digna inquisitióne, útilis inventióne, dulcis ádmodum clarébit communicatióne. Quæritur enim cur ascendénte in cælum Dómino, mater eius quæ tanto eum amplectebátur afféctu, non statim secúta est? Cum enim nulla peccáti nube depréssa, nulla vitæ mácula respérsa, super ignem rubéret ob caritátem, luce clárior ob castitátem, ipsis étiam præláta cælígenis ob virgínei partus novitátem, mirum videbátur, quare cum Fílio non statim ad thera provehebátur.
Quare non ascéndit cum ascendénte? Eius quippe sacratíssima caro, quæ de Spíritu Sancto grávida fuit, quæ gérmine magnífici regis intúmuit, in qua Deus homo, Verbum caro factum est, et mediánte Christo plenitúdo divinitátis mansit in ea corporáliter, assúmpto Dómino prótinus viderétur inserénda cælo. Ut quid enim retardáta est,vel ad moméntum? Aut passa nati divórtium? Ut quid dilátum est fervéntius igne tam sanctum eius desidérium?
Quóniam ista dilátio discipulórum Christi non mínima consolátio fuit. Ista dilátio matri nil mínuit, et mundo cóntulit remédia salútis. Vóluit enim Dóminus Iesus ut illo ad Patrem reverténte apóstoli matérno solátio et eruditióne frueréntur. Qui quidem licet edócti essent a Spíritu, ab illa tamen póterant edocéri, quæ mundo iustítiæ solem édidit, et fontem sapiéntiæ ex prato virgíneo, intemeráto nobis álveo prodúxit. Mira dénique pietáte primitívæ Ecclésiæ provísum est ut quæ Deum in carne hac præséntem iam mínime cérneret, matrem eius visu iucundíssimo recreáta vidéret.
r. Cándidi facti sunt Nazaræi eius, allelúia; splendórem Deo dedérunt, allelúia; * Et sicut lac coaguláti sunt, allelúia, allelúia. v. In omnem terram exívit sonus eórum et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum. * Et sicut lac. v. Glória Patri. * Et sicut lac.
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.
