ENGLISH TEXT
1.) To the Paschal Victim, Christians offer a sacrifice of praise.
2.) The Lamb has ransomed the sheep; the innocent Christ has reconciled sinners with the Father.
3.) Death and life confronted each other in a prodigious battle; the Prince of life who died, now reigns living.
4.) Tell us Mary, what did you see on the way?
5.) I saw the sepulcher of the living Christ; I saw the glory of the Risen One.
6.) I saw the angels; his witnesses, the shroud and the garments.
7.) Christ my hope, is risen; he will go before his own into Galilee.
8.) We know that Christ is truly risen from the dead; O victorious King, have mercy on us.
