Hail, O Paschal Victim!Salve ó vítima pascal!
Innocent Lamb, ChristCordeiro inocente, o Cristo
Opened for us the Father's foldAbriu-nos do Pai o aprisco

Sacrificed for every sheepPor toda ovelha imolado
He washes away the world's sinDo mundo lava o pecado
Let them duel strongly and more stronglyDuelam forte e mais forte
It is life that conquers deathÉ a vida que vence a morte

The King of life, captiveO Rei da vida, cativo
Was killed, but reigns alive!Foi morto, mas reina vivo!
Answer, then, O MaryResponde, pois, ó Maria
What was on the way?No caminho o que havia?

I saw Christ resurrectedVi Cristo ressuscitado
The abandoned tombO túmulo abandonado
The angels the color of the sunOs anjos da cor do sol
The linen cloth folded on the groundDobrado no chão o lençol

The Christ who leads to heavenO Cristo que leva aos céus
Walks ahead of his own!Caminha à frente dos seus!
He truly resurrectedRessuscitou, de verdade
O Christ the King, have mercy!Ó Cristo Rei, piedade!
