Adoro Te Devote (latim)

I Adore You 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 contemplating you, it completely failsQuia te contemplans totum deficit

Sight, touch, taste are all deceived in youVisus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur
But only hearing 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 is hidden both the Deity and humanityAt hic latet simul et humanitas
Yet believing and confessing bothAmbo tamen credens atque confitens
I ask for what the repentant thief askedPeto 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 manPanis vivus, vitam praestans homini!
Grant that my mind may live on youPraesta meae menti de te vivere
And always taste sweetly of youEt 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 thirst for may come to passOro fiat illud quod tam sitio
That I may see your unveiled faceUt te revelata cernens facie
And be happy in the sight of your gloryVisu sim beatus tuae gloriae
AmenAmén
