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.
