Original text and translations

Latin text Attendite qui Dominum amatis O quam jucundus cunctis. Felix qui gustat Jesum quem adorant omnes et benedicunt Namque dum sperat se ostendit pergratum. Heu misericors pater quam bonus est viventibus in caelo.

English translation Behold, ye who love the Lord, Such a joy to all. Happy is he who experiences that Jesus whom all praise and adore. Indeed, while he hopes he shews himself most favoured, Alas. merciful father, how good it is to the living in heaven.
