"Rejoice, heavenly powers! Sing, choirs of angels!
Exult, all creation around God's throne!
Jesus Christ, our King, is risen!
Sound the trumpet of salvation!

Rejoice, O earth, in shining splendor,
Radiant in the brightness of our King!
Christ has conquered! Glory fills you!
Darkness vanishes forever!"
    Easter Proclamation
Sung by Father Ray (KEVIN ANDERSON) in the TV series "Nothing Sacred" ("Felix Culpa"), this episode yet to air. "Exsultet" is a sonorous yet joyful hymn sung at the Easter Vigil after the lighting of the Easter/Paschal Candle (the church is in darkness while the Candle is lit and the song is then sung).
