Latin text
O bone Jesu! Illumina oculos meos, ne unquam obdormiam in morte, nequando dicat inimicus meus: praevalui adversus eum. In manus tuas, Domine, commendo spiritum meum; redemisti nos, Domine, Deus veritatis. O Messias! Locutus sum in lingua mea: notum fac mihi, Domine, finem meum. Amen. (Ps. 12:4–5; 30:6; 38:5; attr. St. Bernard)
English translation
Translation supplied by The St. Ann Choir, directed by William Mahrt
O good Jesus! Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death, lest my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit; thou hast redeemed me, Lord, God of truth. O Messiah! I spoke with my tongue: Lord, make me know my end. Amen.
