The Easter Sequence: Victimae Paschali (t AMR 131 ii) Say, O Mary Magdalen, say What thou sawest on thy way: I beheld where Christ had lain, Empty tomb and angels twain; I beheld the glory bright Of the risen Lord of light: Christ my hope is risen again, Now he lives, and lives to reign.' 2 Christ the victim undefiled, Man to God has reconciled; When, in strange and awful strife, Met together death and life.
