Original text and translations

Latin text

1. Cor Jesu, Cor purissimum,
O ara sanctitatis!
Cor meum purga sordidum,
Infectum tot peccatis.

2. Cor mite, Cor humilimum,
Cor plenum bonitatis!
Cor tuo da simillimum,
Da ignem caritatis.

3. Sed quid? Si vel seraphico
Amore cor flagraret,
Non tamen hoc incendio,
Non satis te amaret.

4. Ut ergo te diligere,
Cor Jesu, possim satis,
Immensum da, quo amas me,
Ardorem caritatis.

5. Hoc, hoc amoris jaculo
Cor meum accendatur,
Et sacro hoc incendio
In cineres sol cator.

6. O mors exoptatissima,
Sic mori vi amoris!
Amoris sit cor victima
Pro corde redemptoris.
