Original text and translations

Latin text

Amor Jesu dulcissime, / quando cor nostrum visitas,
pellis mentis caliginem / et nos reples dulcedine.

Quam felix est quem satias, / consors paternae dexterae,
tu vere lumen patriae, / quod omnem sensum superat.

Splendor paternae gloriae, / incomprehensa bonitas,
amoris tui copiam / da nobis et praesentiam.
