Magnus es tu Domine,
et magnus nomen tuum
uberrime fons omnium gratiarum
inclyta proles summi Dei
et Deus summe bonus
languentis animae suave refrigerium
lacrymantis dulce solatium
unica merces supernorum civium.

English.png English translation

 

Tu pauperum refugium, tu languorum remedium,
spes exsulum, fortitudo laborantium,
via errantium, veritas et vita.
Et nunc Redemptor, Domine, ad te solum confugio;
te verum Deum adoro, in te spero,
in te confido, salus mea, Jesu Christe.
Adjuva me, ne unquam obdormiat in morte anima mea.

 

Thou art the refuge of the poor, remedy for afflictions,
hope of exiles, strength of those who labor,
way for the wandering, truth and life.
And now, Redeemer, Lord, in thee alone I take refuge;
thee, true God, I adore, in thee I hope,
in thee I confide, my salvation, O Jesus Christ.
Help me, lest my soul ever sleep in death.

Translation by St Ann choir (2nd part only)
