Ad genua
Language: Latin
Our translations: FRE
"Ad ubera portabimini, et super genua Blandientur vobis." Salve Jesu, rex sanctorum, Spes votiva peccatorum, Crucis ligno tanquam reus, Pendens homo, verus Deus, Caducis nutans genibus! Quid sum tibi responsurus, Actu vilis, corde durus? Quid rependam amatori, Qui elegit pro me mori, Ne dupla morte morerer? Ut te quaeram mente pura, Sit haec mea prima cura, Non est labor nec gravabor: Sed sanabor et mundabor, Cum te complexus fuero. "Ad ubera portabimini, et super genua Blandientur vobis."
