Latin Text:
1. Christus nostra caro est, mihi solvitur et mihi surgit.
Solvor morte mea, Christi virtute resurgo;
cum moritur Christus, cum flebiliter tumulatur,
me video: e tumulo cum jam remeabilis adstat,
cerno Deum.
2. Nosco meum in Christo corpus resurgere; quid me
desperare jubes? veniam, quibus ille revenit
calcata de morte viis; quod credimus hoc est.
3. Pellite corde metum, mea membra, et credite vosmet
cum Christo reditura Deo; nam vos gerit ille,
et secum revocat; morbos ridete minaces;
inflictos casus contemnite; tetra sepulcra
despicite; exsurgens quo Christus provocat, ite.
English Translation:
1. Christ is of our flesh; for me His death, for me His Resurrection.
If in death I am dissolved, through the power of Christ I shall rise again.
When Christ suffers death, when amid tears He is laid in the tomb, I behold myself;
and, when restored from the tomb He again stands before me, I gaze upon God.
2. I know that in Christ my body shall arise; why bid me, then, despair?
For I shall go by that same path whereby my Lord returned,
death trodden neath His feet; this is my creed.
3. Then banish, my limbs, all terror;
and believe that with Christ our God you shall again return;
for it is He that sustains you; He will call you to join Him.
Laugh at the threats of sickness, scorn the blows of fate;
despise the horrors of the tomb, and follow where the risen Christ summons.
-- Prudentius (348 - after 405 AD), selections from his APOTHEOSIS.
