This is the night



Exsultet iam angelica turba!  Exult, let them exult, the hosts of heaven! Exsultent divina mysteria!  Exult, let angel ministers of God exult! Et pro tanti Regis victoria tuba insonet salutaris!  Let the trumpet of salvation sound aloud our mighty King's triumph!

(A magnificent poetic song, with elegance and paradox, originating somewhere between the fifth and seventh centuries.)
