Tu as réjoui la terre et le ciel, alléluia ;
Tu nous fais naître de l'eau et de l'Esprit, alléluia.
Tu n'as pas abandonné à la mort l'homme créé à ton image,
ô Christ ressuscité, Image éternelle du Père.
Tu as détruit la haine, Tu nous donnes la paix,
Tes plaies sont les portes qui nous ouvrent le ciel !
Par ta Résurrection ô Christ, alléluia,
Tu nous fais naître de l'eau et de l'Esprit, alléluia.
Gloire à Toi, Père saint, source de toute vie,
Gloire au Christ, Premier-né de la création nouvelle,
Gloire à l'Esprit qui renouvelle toutes choses :
Tout l'univers T'acclame, joie de notre salut !
Par ta Résurrection ô Christ, alléluia,
Tu as réjoui la terre et le ciel, alléluia ;
Tu nous fais naître de l'eau et de l'Esprit, alléluia.
