Translation by Gisbert, Freiherr von Vincke (1813 - 1892)

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!

Gebet
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latin 
Our translations:  DUT ENG
O Gott, mein Gebieter,
Stets hofft’ ich auf Dich!
O Jesu, Geliebter,
Nun rette Du mich!
In hartem Gefängniß,
In schlimmer Bedrängniß
Ersehnet’ ich Dich;
In Klagen, Dir klagend,
Im Staube verzagend,
Erhör', ich beschwöre,
Und rette Du mich!
