Original text and translations

Latin text

Surrexit pastor bonus
qui animam suam posuit
pro ovibus suis,
et pro grege suo
mori dignatus est, alleluia,
et enim pascha nostrum
immolatus est Christus.
Alleluia.

English translation

The good shepherd has arisen,
who laid down his life
for his sheep,
and for his flock
deigned to die, alleluia,
and for our Passover
was sacrificed for us: Christ.
Alleluia.
