Matthew 28:5-6: "5 But the angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.'"
1 Corinthians 15:3-8: "3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve."
1 Corinthians 15:20: "But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep."
1 Corinthians 15:54-57: "54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: 'Death is swallowed up in victory.' 55 'O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?' 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

The text from Matthew appears (somewhat indirectly) in the first verse: "Sun reveal an empty tomb... Christ has risen from the dead!"
The first two texts from 1 Corinthians 15 (verses 3-8, 20) could also be cited for "Christ has risen from the dead!" but I think all three texts from this chapter show up more clearly in the second and third verses. "He who for us, so cruelly treated" in the second verse seems drawn from "Christ died for our sins" (verse 3), and "Where is your sting, O death and grave?" (also in the second verse) is straight from 1 Corinthians 15:55.
"Life from death, our Lord is bringing" (in the third verse) seems to come from 1 Corinthians 15:20, and "Christ has gained the victory" (the last line in the third verse) comes from verses 54-57.

"Bearing the standard from on high / As the Lamb of God to die" in the second verse comes at least in part from John 1:29: "The next day he [John the Baptist] saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, 'Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!'"
