Christus Vincit - An Easter Acclamation

I know of no better way to proclaim Easter than with a rousing acclamation proclaiming the kingship of Christ. This barnbuster is a St Paul's tradition that all join in singing lustily and full of faith and hope in the risen Christ.


Christus vincit.
Christus regnat.
Christus imperat.

Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.

Christus vincit...

Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper
et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Christus vincit...


Christ doth conquer.
Christ doth reign.
Christ doth command.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost.

Christ doth conquer...

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be;
world without end. Amen.

Christ doth conquer...
