Latin text
Longe mi Jesu, longe ad te,
Ah crucior mi Jesu in dolore
Dulcedo suavis mea,
O Jesu, veni ad me gratia tua,
In afflictione mea,
Adiuva me o dulcis Jesu,
Cor meum incende,
cor meum tua favore
Et ure renes meos,
Tandem moriar beatus
En languet anima mea
tue Jesu amore.
German translation
Weit, mein Jesus, so weit entfernt von dir,
ach, erleide ich große Pein,
du meine liebste Wonne.
O Jesus, komm zu mir in deiner Huld,
in meiner Bedrängnis
hilf mir, o liebster Jesus!
Entflamme mein Herz für deine Gunst,
lass brennen mir mein Eingeweide!
Dann endlich werde ich selig sterben.
Siehe (doch): Meine Seele dürstet,
Jesus, nach deiner Liebe.
