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. [Credendum est magis soli Mariae veraci quam Judaeorum turbae fallaci.]1 Scimus Christum surrexisse ex mortuis vere: tu nobis [Christe]2 rex, miserere. Alleluia.

Laten de christenen aan het Paaslam lofzangen brengen. Het Lam heeft de schapen vrijgekocht; Christus, de schuldeloze, heeft de zondaars weer met zijn Vader verzoend. Dood en leven vochten een wonderlijke tweestrijd uit; De heer van het leven was dood, maar heerst nu levend. Zeg ons, Maria, wat heb je op je weg gezien? Het graf van de levende Christus zag ik En de glorie van de verrijzende. Engelen als getuigen, De zweetdoek en de windsels. Verrezen is Christus, mijn hoop; Hij zal de zijnen voorgaan naar Galilea. [Meer geloof moet gegeven worden aan de betrouwbare Maria alleen dan aan de bedrieglijke menigte der Joden.]1 Wij weten, dat Christus werkelijk uit de doden is opgestaan. Gij, [Christus]2 koning, ontferm u over ons. Alleluja.
