Text and translations

Latin text O cor Jesu, fons amoris, caritatis victima, vocibus te jam sonoris laudent cordis intima. Tu perenni gratiarum rore mentes irrigas, crucis lignum tu amarum haustu dulci mitigas. Amen.

English translation O heart of Jesus, fountain of love, love's pure victim, now let them praise thee with sounding voices in thine inmost heart. Thou irrigatest our minds with dew of the unceasing grace; Thou appeasest the bitter wood of the cross and turnest into sweet draft. Amen. Translation by Nobuaki Izawa
