Victimae paschali laudes
Immolent Christiani.

Agnus redemit oves:
Christus innocens patri
Reconciliavit peccatores.

Mors et vita duello
Conflixere mirando,
Dux vite 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,
Precedet suos in Galilaeam.

 ... 
Scimus Christum surrexisse ex mortuis vere: 
tu nobis victor rex, miserere. Alleluia.
