Original text and translations

Latin text Magnus es tu Domine, et magnus nomen tuum uberrime fons omnium gratiarum inclyta proles summi Dei et Deus summe bonus languentis animae suave refrigerium lacrymantis dulce solatium unica merces supernorum civium.

English translation

Tu pauperum refugium, tu languorum remedium, spes exsulum, fortitudo laborantium, via errantium, veritas et vita. Et nunc Redemptor, Domine, ad te solum confugio; te verum Deum adoro, in te spero, in te confido, salus mea, Jesu Christe. Adjuva me, ne unquam obdormiat in morte anima mea.

Thou art the refuge of the poor, remedy for afflictions, hope of exiles, strength of those who labor, way for the wandering, truth and life. And now, Redeemer, Lord, in thee alone I take refuge; thee, true God, I adore, in thee I hope, in thee I confide, my salvation, O Jesus Christ. Help me, lest my soul ever sleep in death. Translation by St Ann choir (2nd part only)
