Tu pauperum refugium

Language: Latin

Our translations: ENG FIN

Tu pauperum refugium,
tu languoris remedium,
spes exulum,
fortitudo laborantium,
via errantium, veritas et vita.

Et nunc redemptor Domine
ad Te solum confugio,
te verum Deum adoro,
in Te spero, in Te confido.

Salus mea, Jesu Christe, 
adiuva me,
ne unquam obdormiat
in morte anima mea.

You are a refuge of the poor

Language: English after the Latin

You are a refuge of the poor,
You are the cure for infirmity,
The hope of exiles,
The strength of the workers,
The path for the wanderer, truth and life.

And now, redeemer God,
I take refuge with you alone,
I worship you, the true God,
I hope in you, I trust in you.

Jesus Christ my salvation,
Help me
That my soul should never
Fall asleep in death.
