IESU REX ADMIRABILIS |
IESU, Rex admirabilis et triumphator nobilis, dulcedo ineffabilis, totus desiderabilis. |
O JESUS, King most wonderful! Thou Conqueror renowned! Thou Sweetness most ineffable! in whom all joys are found! |
Quando cor nostrum visitas, tunc lucet ei veritas, mundi vilescit vanitas, et intus fervet caritas. |
When once Thou visitest the heart, then truth begins to shine; then earthly vanities depart; then kindles love divine. |
Iesu, dulcedo cordium, fons vivus, lumen mentium, excedens omne gaudium et omne desiderium. |
O Jesu! Light of all below! Thou font of life and fire! surpassing all the joys we know, and all we can desire. |
Iesum omnes agnoscite, amorem eius poscite; Iesum ardenter quaerite, quaerendo inardescite. |
May every heart confess Thy name, and ever Thee adore; and seeking Thee, itself inflame to seek Thee more and more. |
Te nostra, Iesu, vox sonet, nostri te mores exprimant; te corda nostra diligant et nunc, et in perpetuum. Amen. |
Thee may our tongues for ever bless; Thee may we love alone; and ever in out lives express the image of Thine own. Amen. |
