Lyrics:

Angelus Domini descendit de coelo, 
et accedens revolvit lapidem, 
et super eum sedit, sat upon it
et dixit mulieribus: 
Nolite timere. 
Scio enim, quia Crucifixum quæritis, 
Sed surrexit. 
Venite, videte locum, 
ubi positus erat Dominus, 
Alleluia.

Translation:
The Angel of the Lord came down from heaven,
and coming to roll away the stone,
sat upon it
and said to the women:
Do not be afraid.
I know you seek Him who was crucified.
But He is risen.
Come, see the place
where the Lord was laid.
Alleluia.
