Text: Angelus Domini

Jacob Handl (1550–1591)

Original Text English Translation
 
Angelus Domini descendit de coelo
et accedens revolvit lapidem
et sedit super eum
et dixit mulieribus:
Nolite timere
scio enim quia crucifixum quaeritis.
Iam surrexit—
venite et videte locum
ubi positus erat Dominus.
Alleluia.
The angel of the Lord came down from heaven
and approaching rolled away the stone
and sat on it
and said to the women,
Do not be afraid, for I know
that you seek the one who was crucified.
He has already risen—
come and see the place
where the Lord was laid.
Alleluia.
Matthew 28:1–6
