Adoro Te Devote (latim)
Adoro te devote, latens Deitas
Quae sub his figuris vere latitas
Tibi se cor meum totum subiicit
Quia te contemplans totum deficit
Visus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur
Sed auditu solo tuto creditur
Credo quidquid dixit Dei Filius
Nil hoc verbo Veritatis verius
In cruce latebat sola Deitas
At hic latet simul et humanitas
Ambo tamen credens atque confitens
Peto quod petivit latro paenitens
Plagas, sicut Thomas, non intueor
Deum tamen meum te confiteor
Fac me tibi semper magis credere
In te spem habere, te diligere
O memoriale mortis Domini!
Panis vivus, vitam praestans homini!
Praesta meae menti de te vivere
Et te illi semper dulce sapere
Pie pellicane, Iesu Domine
Me immundum munda tuo sanguine
Cuius una stilla salvum facere
Totum mundum quit ab omni scelere
Iesu, quem velatum nunc aspicio
Oro fiat illud quod tam sitio
Ut te revelata cernens facie
Visu sim beatus tuae gloriae
Amén
I Adore You Devoutly (Latin)
I devoutly adore you, hidden Deity
Who beneath these figures truly lies hidden
To you my heart submits itself completely
Because contemplating you, it completely fails
Sight, touch, taste are all deceived in you
But only hearing is safely believed
I believe whatever the Son of God has said
Nothing is more true than this word of Truth
On the cross only the Deity was hidden
But here is hidden both the Deity and humanity
Yet believing and confessing both
I ask for what the repentant thief asked
I do not see the wounds as Thomas did
But I confess that you are my God
Make me always believe more in you
Have hope in you, love you
O memorial of the Lord's death!
Living bread, giving life to man
Grant that my mind may live on you
And always taste sweetly of you
O loving Pelican, Lord Jesus
Cleanse me, a sinner, in your blood
One drop of which can free
The entire world of all its sins
Jesus, whom I now see veiled
I pray that what I so thirst for may come to pass
That I may see your unveiled face
And be happy in the sight of your glory
Amen
