Adoro Te Devote (Latim)

I Adore Thee Devoutly (Latin)

Adoro Te Devote (Latim)

I devoutly adore you, hidden DeityAdoro te devote, latens Deitas
Who beneath these figures truly lies hiddenQuae sub his figuris vere latitas
To you my heart submits itself completelyTibi se cor meum totum subiicit
Because in contemplating you everything falls shortQuia te contemplans totum deficit
Sight, touch, taste are all deceived in youVisus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur
But hearing alone is safely believedSed auditu solo tuto creditur
I believe whatever the Son of God has saidCredo quidquid dixit Dei Filius
Nothing is more true than this word of TruthNil hoc verbo Veritatis verius
On the cross only the Deity was hiddenIn cruce latebat sola Deitas
But here the humanity is also hiddenAt hic latet simul et humanitas

Yet believing and confessing bothAmbo tamen credens atque confitens
I seek what the repentant thief soughtPeto quod petivit latro paenitens
I do not see the wounds as Thomas didPlagas, sicut Thomas, non intueor
But I confess that you are my GodDeum tamen meum te confiteor
Make me always believe more in youFac me tibi semper magis credere
Have hope in you, love youIn te spem habere, te diligere
O memorial of the Lord's death!O memoriale mortis Domini!
Living bread, giving life to man!Panis vivus, vitam praestans homini!

Grant that my soul may live on youPraesta meae menti de te vivere
And always taste you sweetlyEt te illi semper dulce sapere
O loving Pelican, Lord JesusPie pellicane, Iesu Domine
Cleanse me, a sinner, in your bloodMe immundum munda tuo sanguine
One drop of which can freeCuius una stilla salvum facere
The entire world of all its sinsTotum mundum quit ab omni scelere
Jesus, whom I now see veiledIesu, quem velatum nunc aspicio
I pray that what I so desire may come to passOro fiat illud quod tam sitio
That by seeing you revealed face to faceUt te revelata cernens facie
I may be blessed with the vision of your gloryVisu sim beatus tuae gloriae
AmenAmén
