Easter Vigil, O vere beata nox

Haec nox est, de qua scriptum est:
Et nox sicut dies illuminabitur:
et nox illuminatio mea in deliciis meis. ...
This is the night of which it is written:
And the night shall be as enlightened as the day:
And the night is my light in my enjoyments...
O vere beata nox
O truly blessed is the night
Vicitimae paschali laudes
immolent Christiani.
Agnus redemit oves:
Christus innocens Patri
Reconciliavit peccatores....
Forth the paschal Victim
Christians bring
Your sacrifice of praise:
The lamb redeemed the sheep;
and Christ the sinless One
hath to the Father
sinners reconciled.
