O Domine Deus

Language: Latin

Our translations: DUT DUT FRE

O Domine Deus 
speravi in te.
O care mi Jesu, 
nunc libera me!
In dura catena, 
in misera poena,
Desidero te;
Languendo, gemendo 
et genuflectendo
Adoro, imploro 
ut liberes me!

O Heer God

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the Latin

O Heer God, 
op U heb ik mijn hoop gesteld.
O mijn dierbare Jezus, 
bevrijd mij nu!
Aan mijn harde ketting,
in mijn vreselijke straf
hunker ik naar U;
Kwijnend, zuchtend,
op mijn knieën 
Aanbid ik U en smeek U,
Dat Gij verlost!
