[Hymnus Day0 Laudes]
v. Lo, the dim shadows of the night are waning;
Lightsome and blushing, dawn of day returneth;
Fervent in spirit, to the world’s Creator
Pray we devoutly:
_
That he may pity sinners in their sighing,
Banish all troubles, kindly health bestowing;
And may he grant us, of his countless blessings,
Peace that is endless.

This be our portion, God forever blessed,
Father eternal, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Whose is the glory, which through all creation
Ever resoundeth.

[Hymnus Day0 Laudes hiemalis]
v. Maker of all, eternal King, 
Who day and night about dost bring:
Who weary mortals to relieve, 
Dost in their times the seasons give:
_
Now the shrill cock proclaims the day,
And calls the sun’s awak’ning ray 
The wand’ring pilgrim’s guiding light,
That marks the watches night by night.
_
Roused at the note, the morning star
Heaven’s dusky veil uplifts afar:
Night’s vagrant bands no longer roam,
But from their dark ways hie them home.
_
The encouraged sailor’s fears are o’er,
The foaming billows rage no more:
Lo! e’en the very Church’s rock 
Melts at the crowing of the cock.
_
O let us then like men arise; 
The cock rebukes our slumbering eyes,
Bestirs who still in sleep would lie,
And shames who would their Lord deny.
_
New hope his clarion-note awakes, 
Sickness the feeble frame forsakes, 
The robber sheathes his lawless sword,
Faith to the fallen is restored.
_
Look on us, Jesu, when we fall, 
And with thy look our souls recall:
If thou but look, our sins are gone,
And with due tears our pardon won.
_
Shed through our hearts thy piercing ray,
Our souls’ dull slumber drive away:
Thy name be first on every tongue,
To thee our earliest praises sung.
_
All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, Eternal Son, to thee,
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.
Amen.

Who mak’st the day with radiance bright,
And o’er the forming world didst call
The light from chaos first of all;
_
Whose wisdom joined in meet array
The morn and eve, and named them day:
Night comes with all its darkling fears;
Regard thy people’s prayers and tears.
_
Lest, sunk in sin, and whelmed with strife,
They lose the gift of endless life; 
While thinking but the thoughts of time,
They weave new chains of woe and crime.
_
But grant them grace that they may strain
The heavenly gate and prize to gain:
Each harmful lure aside to cast, 
And purge away each error past.

Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.

_
Vain is the cavern’s three-fold ward — 
The stone, the seal, the armed guard;
O death, no more thine arm we fear,
The Victor’s tomb is now thy bier.
_
Let hymns of joy to grief succeed, 
We know that Christ is risen indeed;
We hear his white-robed angel’s voice,
And in our risen Lord rejoice.
_
With Christ we died, with Christ we rose,
When at the font his name we chose;
Oh, let not sin our robes defile, 
And turn to grief the paschal smile.
_
* To God the Father let us sing,
To God the Son, our risen King,
And equally let us adore
The Spirit, God forevermore.
Amen.  

[Pasch Versum 2_]
V. Christ, in thy resurrection, alleluia.
R. Let heaven and earth rejoice, alleluia.

[Hymnus Pasch Vespera]
v. At the Lamb’s high feast we sing
Praise to our victorious King,
Who hath washed us in the tide
Flowing from his piercèd side.
_
Praise we him whose love divine
Gives the guests his blood for wine,
Gives his body for the feast, 
Love the victim, love the priest.
_
Where the paschal blood is poured,
Death’s dark angel sheathes his sword;
Israel’s hosts triumphant go 
Through the wave that drowns the foe.
_
Christ, the Lamb whose blood was shed,
Paschal victim, paschal bread;
With sincerity and love
Eat we manna from above.
_
Mighty victim from the sky,
Powers of hell beneath thee lie;
Death is conquered in the fight;
Thou hast brought us life and light.
_
Now thy banner thou dost wave;
Vanquished Satan and the grave;
Angels join his praise to tell —
See o’erthrown the prince of hell.
_
Paschal triumph, paschal joy,
Only sin can this destroy;
From the death of sin set free,
Souls re-born, dear Lord, in Thee.
_
* Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto thee we raise;
Risen Lord, all praise to thee,
Ever with the Spirit be.
Amen.
