Mens sancta Deo cara,
tranquilla est in spe

Ardet Deo placere,
quod culpa est deflere.
Ridet mundi culmina,
Coeli cupit gaudia.

A Holy Mind to God
Language: English  after the Latin
The divine mind is dear to God,
It is tranquil in hope,
not carried away by vanity.
It burns to please God,
[and] bewails its faults.
It laughs at the heights of the world
[and] desires the joys of heaven.
