Original text and translations

English text 1. Adieu to earth with all your joy! Adieu to all below! Your pleasures all I'd count a toy, If I might Jesus know. 2. Adieu to all created bliss! Your greatest friendship too; Adieu to all but Jesus Christ. For him I must pursue.

3. O give me Christ! for he is all, My soul for him doth pant; Let others take this little ball, No share of it I want. 4. Jesus while here is my delight; No other joys I'd know; And when I quit these shades of night, I shall with Jesus go.
