Original text and translations

Latin text

Jesu clemens pie Deus
Jesu dulcis, Amor meus,
Jesu bone, Jesu pie,
Fili Dei & Mariae.

Quisnam possit e narrare
quam sit dulce te amare,
tecum pati, tecum flere
tecum omnes congaudere.

Fac ut possim semper dicere,
quam sit dulce te diligere
tecum corde sociari,
tecum mente delectari.

Tu es cibus electorum,
tu es panis angelorum,
caeli manna salutaris,
qui nos pascere dignaris.

O Majestas infinita!
amor noster, spes & vita,
fac nos dignos te videre,
tecum semper permanere.

Ut videntes & fruentes,
jubilemus & cantemus,
in optata, in beata
paradisi gloria.
Amen.
