Latin text

O filii et filiae,
Rex caelestis, Rex gloriae
morte surrexit hodie.

In albis sedens angelus
praedixit mulieribus:
In Galilaea est Dominus.

In hoc festo sanctissimo
sit laus et iubilatio:
benedicamus Domino.

Ex quibus nos humillimas
devotas atque debitas
Deo dicamus gratias.

English translation

Ye sons and daughters of the Lord,
the King of glory, King adored,
this day Himself from death restored.

The angel in white they see,
who saith, 'seek the Lord: but He
is risen and gone to Galilee.'

Now let us praise the Lord most high,
and strive His name to magnify
on this great day, through earth and sky:

Whose mercy ever runneth o'er;
Whom men and Angel hosts adore;
to Him be glory evermore.

Translation after Fr. Edward Caswall (1814-1878)
