To the Paschal victim let Christians

Offer up their songs of praise.

The Lamb has redeemed the sheep:

Christ who is without sin

Has reconciled sinners to the Father.

Death and life have fought a huge battle,

The Prince of Life was dead, but lives and reigns.

Tell us, Mary, what did you see on your way?

'The tomb of Christ, who is alive,

And I saw the glory of his rising;

Angels standing as witnesses, the shroud and linen cloth.

Christ my hope has risen:

He has gone to Galilee before you.'

Truly, we know Christ has risen from the dead:

O King and victor, have mercy on us. Amen. Alleluia ■
