Victimae Paschali Laudes.

Before I leave you all in peace to enjoy this sacred day, I give you the Easter Sequence:

Victimae Paschali Laudes.

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.
