Resurrexit sicut dixit, alleluia! -- He has risen as He said, Alleluia!

I AROSE, and am still with Thee, alleluia: Thou hast laid Thy hand upon Me, alleluia: Thy knowledge is become wonderful, alleluia, alleluia.

Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee from before His face.
As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish as wax melts before a fire.
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God and let the righteous ones rejoice.  (Ps. 67:2-4)
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us exult and rejoice in it.  (Ps. 117:24)
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, now and ever, and forever.  Amen.
