Original text and translations

Latin text Christe Dei soboles spes et mea sola voluptas  nectareus stillat cujus ab ore liquor. Ecce tibi leve xeniolum fero promptus ad aram  te nihil in toto est carius orbe mihi. Accipe daque mihi pro votis gaudia coeli  gaudia prae cunctis nam tua semper amo nec nisi sola queat restringere mentis amorem  Atropos, ah peto te praeter amare nihil.

English translation O Christ, offspring of God, my hope and sole delight, from whose lips nectar drops; behold, I bring thee my unworthy little gift readily to the altar. Nothing in the whole world is more dear to me than thee. Receive, and grant me joys for my prayer, for I love thy heavenly joys above all: nor let anyone but Atropos alone restrain the love of my mind. Oh, I ask to love none but thee. Translation by St Ann choir
