    Jesu, dulcis memória,
    Dans vera cordis gáudia:
    Sed super mel, et ómnia,
    Ejus dulcis præséntia.

    Nil cánitur suávius,
    Nil audítur jucúndius,
    Nil cogitátur dúlcius,
    Quam Jesus Dei Fílius.

    Jesu, spes pœniténtibus,
    Quam pius es peténtibus!
    Quam bonus te quæréntibus!
    Sed quid inveniéntibus?

    Nec lingua valet dícere,
    Nec líttera exprímere:
    Expértus potest crédere,
    Quid sit Jesum dilígere.

    Sis, Jesu, nostrum gáudium,
    Qui es futúrus prǽmium:
    Sit nostra in te glória,
    Per cuncta semper sǽcula.
    Amen.

    Jesu, the very thought of thee,
    With sweetness fills my breast;
    But sweeter far thy face to see,
    And in thy presence rest.

    Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
    Nor can the memory find,
    A sweeter sound than thy blest Name,
    O Saviour of mankind.

    O hope of every contrite heart,
    O joy of all the meek,
    To those who fall, how kind thou art;
    How good to those who seek.

    But what to those who find? This truth
    No tongue nor pen can show:
    The love of Jesus, what it is,
    None but his loved ones know.

    Jesu, our only joy be thou,
    As thou our prize wilt be;
    Jesu, be thou our glory now,
    And through eternity.
    Amen.
