Jesu Dulcis Memoria
Jesu dulcis memoria
Dans vera cordis gaudia
Sed super mel et omnia
Ejus dulcis præsentia
Nil canitur suavius
Nil auditur jucundius
Nil cogitatur dulcius
Quam Jesus Dei filius
Jesu spes pænitentibus
Quam pius es petentibus!
Quam bonus te quærentibus!
Sed quid invenientibus?
Nec lingua valet dicere
Nec littera exprimere
Expertus potest credere
Quid sit Jesum diligere
Sis Jesu nostrum gaudium
Qui es futurus præmium
Sit nostra in te gloria
Per cuncta semper sæcula
Amen
Sweet Memory of Jesus
Sweet memory of Jesus
Giving true joys of the heart
But above honey and all things
His sweet presence
Nothing is sung more sweetly
Nothing is heard more joyfully
Nothing is thought more sweetly
Than Jesus, Son of God
Jesus, hope of the penitent
How kind you are to those who seek!
How good to those who ask!
But what to those who find?
Neither tongue can tell
Nor letter express
One who has experienced can believe
What it is to love Jesus
Be Jesus our joy
Who will be our reward
May our glory be in you
Through all eternity
Amen
