Alleluia!

Sunt clausa stygis ostia.

Et caeli patent atria;

Gaudeamus et canamus:

Alleluia!

Per tua, Iesu, vulnera

Nos mala morte libera,

Ut vivamus et canamus:

Alleluia! Amen.

One of the most celebrated of Easter hymns. It comes from an anonymous medieval Latin poem which appeared in the Jesuit Symphonia Sirenum, Cologne, 1695.
