Original text and translations

Latin text Dulce nomen Jesu, dulcissima dulcedo, o vera salus, o vera vita, o spes unica animae mea, o bone Jesu, te adoro creator et redemptor meus, te humiliter deprecor, o reverenter exoro: parce peccatis a voluptatibus seculi et munda corda nostra a voluptatibus seculi. O dulcis Jesu, o bone Jesu, ad te confugio, ad te qui miserando bonitatem tuam ostendis, ad te qui miserando toto cordis affectu venio et Majestatem tuam adoro. Ergo mi Jesu bone, ne permittas me damnari quem tu de nihilo creasti.

English translation Sweet name of Jesus, sweetest sweetness, true salvation, true life, sole hope of my soul, good Jesus, I adore you, my creator and redeemer, I humbly beseech you, reverently entreat you: spare [us] from sin and from the temptations of the world, and cleanse our hearts from the temptations of the world. Sweet Jesus, good Jesus, in you I take refuge, to you who extend your mercy to him who suffers, to you I come, my whole heart moved by a spirit of contrition, and I adore your majesty. Thence, my good Jesus, let me not be damned, you who created me from nothingness.

| German translation

Süßer Name Jesu, süßeste Süßigkeit,
o wahres Heil, o wahres Leben, o einzige Hoffnung meiner Seele,
o guter Jesus, ich bete dich an als meinen Schöpfer und Erlöser,
ich bitte dich demütig, o ich flehe dich ehrfürchtig an:
Verschone vor Sünden von den Gelüsten der Welt
und reinige unsere Herzen von den Gelüsten der Welt.
