O nomen Jesu, nomen dulce!
Nomen Jesu, nomen delectabile!
Nomen Jesu, nomen confortans!
Quid est enim Jesus, nisi salvator?
Ergo Jesu, propter nomen sanctum tuum,
Esto mihi Jesus, et salva me.

English.png English translation

O name of Jesus, name of sweetness!
Name of Jesus, name of delights!
Name of Jesus, name of comfort!
For what is Jesus but Saviour?
Therefore, Jesus, on account of thy holy name,
Be to me Jesus, and save me.
