Original text and translations

Latin text

Prima pars
Christus resurgens ex mortuis,
jam non moritur,
mors illi ultra non dominabitur.
Quod enim vivit, vivit Deo, alleluia.

Secunda pars
Dicant nunc Iudaei
quomodo milites custodientes sepulcrum
perdiderunt Regem.
Ad lapidis positionem
quare non servabant Petram iustitiae?
Aut sepultum reddant,
aut resurgentem adorent,
nobiscum dicentes: Alleluia.
