Jesu, dulcis memoria,
dans vera cordis gaudia,
sed super mel et omnia,
eius dulcis praesentia.
Nil canitur suavius,
nil auditur iucundius,
nil cogitatur dulcius
quam Jesus, Dei Filius.

La douce mémoire de Jésus
donnant la vraie joie au cœur,
mais mieux que le miel et tout
sa douce présence.
Rien de plus délicieux n'est chanté,
rien de plus plaisant n'est entendu,
rien de plus n'est pansé,
que Jésus, le fils de Dieu.
