Jesus, zoete herinnering

(Sung text translation for setting by W. Mozart)

See original

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.
