LYRIC

Latin (original):

```
Sacris solemniis
iuncta sint gaudia,
et ex praecordiis
sonent praeconia;
recedant vetera,
nova sint omnia,
corda, voces, et opera.

Noctis recolitur
cena novissima,
qua Christus creditur
agnum et azyma
dedisse fratribus,
iuxta legitima
priscis indulta patribus.
```

English Translation:

```
At this our solemn feast
let holy joys abound,
and from the inmost hearts
let hymns of praise resound;
let ancient things depart,
and all be new around,
in every act and voice and heart.

Remember we that eve,
when, the last supper spread,
Christ, after law fulfilled,
the Paschal lamb had fed,
to His disciples gave,
as meat unleavened bread,
a gift by legal rite forbade.
```

Portuguese Translation:

```
Nesta nossa festa solene
alegrias santas se unam,
e dos corações mais íntimos
ressoem hinos de louvor;
que as coisas antigas se afastem,
e tudo seja renovado,
nos corações, nas vozes e nas obras.

Recordemos aquela noite
em que, na última ceia,
Cristo, após cumprir a lei,
o cordeiro pascal tomou,
e aos seus discípulos deu,
como alimento, pão ázimo,
um dom que a lei antiga proibia.
