O Domine Deus
Language: Latin
Available translation(s): DUT DUT FRE
O Domine Deus
speravi in te.
O care mi Jesu,
nunc libera me!
In dura catena,

Desidero te;
Languendo, gemendo
et genuflectendo
Adoro, imploro
ut liberes me!

O God, Heer der wereld
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the Latin
O God, Heer der wereld,
Ik hoop steeds op U,
O dierbare Jezus,
Breng vrijheid mij nu!
In boeien geketend,
Door straffen getekend,
Verlang ik naar U;
Al zuchtend en smachtend,
Geknield op U wachtend,
Aanbid ik en smeek ik:
Geef vrijheid mij nu!
