Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
O filii et filiae,
Rex caelestis, Rex gloriae
morte surrexit hodie, Alleluia
Ex mane prima Sabbati
ad ostium monumenti
accesserunt discipuli, Alleluia
Et Maria Magdalene,
et Iacobi, et Salome
Venerunt corpus ungere, Alleluia
In albis sedens angelus
praedixit mulieribus:
In Galilaea est Dominus, Alleluia
Et Ioannes apostolus
cucurrit Petro citius,
monumento venit prius, Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Ye sons and daughters of the Lord,
the King of glory, King adored,
this day Himself from death restored, Alleluia
All in the early morning gray
went holy women on their way,
to see the tomb where Jesus lay, Alleluia
Of spices pure a precious store
in their pure hands these women bore,
to anoint the sacred Body o'er, Alleluia
The straightaway one in white they see,
who saith, "seek the Lord: but He
is risen and gone to Galilee," Alleluia
This told they Peter, told John;
who forthwith to the tomb are gone,
but Peter is by John outrun, Alleluia
from the Liber Usualis, hymn by by Jean Tisserand, O.F.M. (d. 1494)
