Original text and translations

Latin text

Jesu, Rex admirabilis
Et triumphator nobilis
Dulcedo ineffabilis
Totus desiderabilis

Mane nobiscum Domine
Et nos illustra lumine
Pulsamentis caligine
Mundum reple dulcedine.

English translation

Jesu, Prince ever-glorious!
Thou Lord of Hosts victorious!
Of radiance more than marvelous'
Master, be ruler over us!

Dwell, Lord, with us, and grant we may
Behold Thy light upon our way;
Scatter night's gloom, and so array
Earth, as heaven, in noon bright day.

English translation

O Jesus, wondrous king
and noble conqueror,
unutterable sweetness,
wholly desirable:

Remain with us, Lord,
and enlighten us with light,
drive away the darkness of our minds,
fill the world with sweetness.
