Original text and translations

Latin text O dulcis Jesu, O refrigerium animae meae, O dulce consolamen universorum: fac me dignum tua gloria frui, et in circumscriptum lumen videre, respice quaeso, respice humilitatem meam, et exaudi me.

English translation O sweet Jesus, thou refreshment of my soul, thou consolation to all things: make me worthy to enjoy thy glories, and, hemmed in, to see the light; consider me, I beg, consider my humility, and heed me.
