Surrexit Dominus de Sepulchro

Surrexit Dominus de sepulchro,
The Lord is rissin fra deid to lyfe agane,
Qui pro nobis pependit in ligno,
Quhilk for our synnys on the croce wes slane ;
Quhame to annoynt went Mary Magdalene,
Ibat Maria Salame cum ea ;
Quhen Godis angell thus did ansuer plane,
" Surrexit sicut dixit, allalua ! "

This angellis weid wes snawith in cullour,
His face as fyrflacht flawmit, ferly brycht ;
The knychtis keparis of Christis sepultour
Ffell doun as deid, afferit of his licht,
Quhome to behald thay had no grace nor mycht ;
Et terre motus est factus in Judea ;
The wird of Jesew is fulfillit rycht,
Surrexit sicut dixit, allalua !

Behaldin the brichtnes of this angell,
The Magdalene and Mare Salamee
Abasit wer in sprit, as sayis the Ewangell,
And stud abak. " Be nocht afferd ! " said he,
" The Lord is rissin quhome ȝe come to se,
Ipse precedit vos in Gallelela ;
To his appostillis ga tell the verite,
Surrexit sicut dixit, allalua ! "

All honour we this Lord with joy and glory,
Thanking that mychty Campioun invincible,
That wan on tre trevmphe of he victory ;
Syne brak the hellis dungeoun most terrible,
And chest the dragonis hidous and horrible
Per crucis validissima trophea,
And brocht the sawlis to joy euir permansible :
Surrexit sicut dixit, allalua !

Pleiss we this Lord that did in battell byd
For ws, quhilk had non vthir bute nor beild,
Quhill bludy wes his bak, body, and syd ;
He wes our mychte paviss, and our scheild.
Or Phebus dirknes him Goddis Sone reveild
Sanguinea erant eius cannepea ;
He deit triumphand, he raiss and wan the feild :
Surrexit sicut dixit, allelua !

Finis.
