Jesu, dulcis memoria
Language: Latin
Jesu, dulcis memoria,
dans vera cordis gaudia,
sed super mel et omnia,
eius dulcis praesentia.
[Nil canitur suavius,
nil auditur iucundius,]1
nil cogitatur dulcius
quam Jesus, Dei Filius.
Jesu, spes paenitentibus,
Quam pius es petentibus!
Quam bonus te quaerentibus!
Sed quid invenientibus?
[Nec]2 lingua valet dicere,
Nec littera exprimere:
Expertus potest credere,
Quid sit Jesum diligere.
Sis, Jesu, nostrum gaudium,
Qui es futurus praemium
Sit nostra in te gloria,
Per cuncta semper saecula. Amen.

Jesus, zoete herinnering
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the Latin
Jesus, zoete herinnering
Die 't hart echt geeft bevrediging:
Maar boven honing en elk ding
Is zoet zijn zijn in onze kring.
Niets laat zich zingen lieflijker,
Niets streelt het oor verrukk'lijker
Niets kan men denken heerlijker
Dan Jesus, Gods zoon, heilbrenger.
Jesus, hoop van de boetenden,
Hoe mild zijt Gij voor zoekenden!
Hoe goed voor de U biddenden,
Maar wat voor de U vindenden?
Geen tongval kan het weergeven,
Geen schrijfsel kan het uitdrukken:
Wie 't meemaakt kan 't bevestigen
Wat Jesus doet met minnenden.
Wees, Jesus, onze hoop en vreugd,
Die zijt het komend loon der deugd.
Zij onze roem in U alleen
Door alle, alle eeuwen heen. Amen
