Capitulum Responsorium Versus

Rom 6:9-10

Christus resúrgens ex mórtuis iam non móritur, † mors illi ultra non dominábitur. * Quod enim mórtuus est peccáto, mórtuus est semel: quod autem vivit, vivit Deo.

Knowing that Christ rising again from the dead, dieth now no more, death shall no more have dominion over him. For in that he died to sin, he died once; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.


Hymnus

1. The morn had spread her crimson rays, When rang the skies with shouts of praise; Earth joined the joyful hymn to swell, That brought despair to vanquished hell. 2. He comes victorious from the grave, The Lord omnipotent to save, And brings with him to light of day The saints who long imprisoned lay. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. To God the Father let us sing, To God the Son, our risen King, And equally let us adore The Spirit, God forevermore. Amen.
