Languet anima mea
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  DUT
Languet anima mea amore tuo,
o benignissime Jesu!
Aestuat et spirat
et in amore deficit.

O vulnera, vita 
coelestis amantis,
trophea regnantis,
cor mihi aperite.

Transfligite pectus,
confodite pectus,
sic mori beatum
me facit dilectus.

Amoris tui jaculo
vulnerasti cor meum,
o bone Jesu, languentem
nunc ergo refice spiritum meum
et novas ad auge amoris flammas,
ut laeta queam canere.

Tu lumen mentis es,
tu cordis ardor,
tu numen cordis es,
tu vocis clamor.

Tu Deus meus es,
tu verus amor.

Alleluja!
