Alleluja! In die resurrectionis meae [On the day of My Resurrection] (Matthew 28:7; John 20:26) – Johann Michael Haydn

Matthew 28:7; John 20:26 [Latin] – And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

Original Latin:

Halleluja, in die resurrectionis meae dicit dominus praecedam vos in Galilaeam, alleluja,
post dies octo januis clausis stetit Jesus in medio discipulorum suorum et dixit: alleluja, pax vobis.
