Victimae Paschali Laudes

Victimae paschali laudes immolent Christiani. Agnus redemit oves: Christus innocens Patri reconciliavit peccatores.  Mors et vita duello conflixere mirando: dux vitae mortuus, regnat vivus.

Dic nobis Maria, quid vidisti in via? Sepulcrum Christi viventis, et gloriam vidi resurgentis: Angelicos testes, sudarium, et vestes.

Surrexit Christus spes mea: praecedet suos in Galilaeam. Scimus Christum surrexisse
a mortuis vere: tu nobis, victor Rex, miserere. Amen. Alleluia.


This beloved sequence will be heard throughout the Octave of Easter in the Usus Antiquior.  Rejoice and be glad, for Our Lord is Risen!
