Original text and translations

Latin text

Dum rex gloriae Christus infernum debellaturus intraret
et chorus Angelicus ante faciem eius portas principum tolli praeciperet
Sanctorum populus qui tenebatur in morte captivus,
Voce lachrimabili clamaverat:
Advenisti desiderabilis quem expectabamus in tenebris,
ut educeres hac nocte vinculatos de claustris:
Alleluia.

Te nostra vocabant suspiria,
Te nostra requirebant lamenta
Tu factus es spes desperatis
Magna consolatio in tormentis
Alleluia.
