Milfull:
appointed for Easter Sunday at Prime.
YMNUS
IN PASCHA AD PRIMAM
TE,
LUCIS AUCTOR, personent
huius
caterve carmina,
quam
tu replesti gratia
anastasi
potentia.
Nobis
dies hec innuit
diem
supremum sistere
quo
mortuos resurgere
viteque
fas sit reddere.
Octava
prima redditur,
dum
mors abunda tollitur,
dum
mente circumcidimur
novique
demum nascimur,
cum
mane nostrum cernimus
redisse
victis hostibus
mundique
luxum tempnimus,
panem
salutis sumimus.
Hec
alma sit sollempnitas,
sit
clara hec festivitas,
sit
feriata gaudiis;
dies
reducta ab inferis.
Gloria
tibi domine
The hymns of this band acclaim you, Creator of
light, whom you fill with grace by the power of the resurrection. This day
signals to us that a final day will come, when divine law dictates that the
dead shall rise and be returned to life. The eighth day will be made the first,
when endless death is taken away, when we are circumcised in soul and born
anew. When we discern that our morning has returned after the victory over our
enemies, we will hold in contempt the luxury of the world, and receive the
bread of salvation. May this solemnity be nourishing, this feast be bright, may
it be observed with joys, as day is returned from hell.
