text
Exsultate, jubilate,
o vos animae beatae,
dulcia cantica canendo,
cantui vestro respondendo,
psallant aethera cum me.
Fulget amica dies,
iam fugere et nubila et procellae;
exortus est justis
inexspectata quies.
Undique obscura regnabat nox;
surgite tandem laeti,
qui timuistis adhuc,
et iucundi aurorae fortunatae
frondes dextera plena et lilia date.
Tu virginum corona,
tu nobis pacem dona,
tu consolare affectus,
unde suspirat cor.
Alleluja, alleluja, alleluja ...
Shout, rejoice,
O happy souls,
sing sweet songs;
In response
to your song, let the heavens sing psalms with me.
The friendly day is shining,
clouds and storms are already fleeing;
Unexpected rest has come to
the righteous
.
The dark night reigned everywhere;
finally rise up full of joy,
which you have feared until now,
and joyfully hand over
branches of flowers and lilies to the happy dawn .
You, crown of virgins,
you, give us peace,
you, still the passions
under which the heart sighs.
Alleluia.
