Credentes mundi laetare Quia hostia venit superare! Alleluia. Resurrexit, sicut dixit! Alleluia. Erat mortuus: nunc est vivens Et habet claves mortis et inferni! Alleluia.

Believers of the world rejoice, For the victim has come to conquer! Alleluia. He has risen, even as he said! Alleluia. He was dead: now he is living And he has the keys of death and hell! Alleluia.
