Original text and translations

Latin text

Jesu delitium vultus ah, redde amantes.
Aspice gemitus anima te anhelantes
Num poteris madidis ex oculis spernere fontes manantes.

Torpent frigoribus miseri pectoris aedes
et moesta proprias deserit anima sedes.
O Jesu mi corculi quando mei sinus amore amore incendes!
Jesu delitium vultus ah, redde amantes.

Festina frigore pectora ne indurescant,
fac tuis ignibus mortua membra calescant.
Te diligo, mi amor cupio, fac ut in Te requiescant

Si vis, dilecte mi, pereant membra lassata
et languens involet anima tecta beata
Hic gaudiis pascar et delitis fruar o templa amata!

O quot spendentibus radiant atria flammis
quot in vernantibus video gaudia campis
o mea mens aspice coelica gens quantis exultet triumphis.

Vale, vale o terra, te fugio,
Vale, vale o terra, te non requiro
Vale, vale voluptas in semitis tuis deliro

Heu mundi grex
tua disciplicuit lex
Vale, ad Jesum aspiro.
