*Jesu dulcis memoria
dans vera cordi gaudia: sed super mel et omnia ejus dulcis praesentia. Nil canitur suavius, nil auditur jucundius, nil cogitatur dulcius, quam Jesus Dei Filius. |
The sweet memory of Jesus,
Giving true joy to the heart: But more than honey and all things Is His sweet presence. Nothing more delightful is sung, Nothing more pleasing heard, Nothing sweeter is thought, Than Jesus, the Son of God. |
