Totus in corde langueo
amore Dei ardeo,
amore divino ardeo,
totus langueo.
Nunquam cessabo
sed semper amabo
hoc sacro igne
animam inflammabo.
Nec tartarus me deterebit,
nec coelum separabit
a caritate Christi.

Offertorium 'Totus in corde'
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the Latin 
Met heel mijn hart smacht ik,
Brand ik van liefde voor God,
Brand ik van goddelijke liefde,
Totaal versmacht ik.
Nooit zal ik ophouden,
Maar altijd zal ik beminnen;
Met dit heilige vuur
Zal ik mijn ziel doen ontvlammen.
Noch zal de onderwereld mij afschrikken,
Noch zal de hemel mij scheiden
Van de liefde van Christus1.
