Latin.png Latin text

   Iesu decus Angelicum
  In aura dulce canticum
  In ore' mel mirificum
  in corde nectar celicum.

  Desiderate millies
  Jesu mi quando venies?
  Me laetum quando facies
  Me de te quando saties?
  
Text from: Anonymous c. 1200; Dulcis Iesu memoria... (Stanzas 69 - 76.)

 O JESUS, Thou the beauty art
of Angel worlds above!
Thy name is music to the heart,
enchanting it with love!

 Translation of first verse by Fr. Edward Caswall (1814-1878)

You who is thousandfodly desired,
When will You come to me?
When will you fill me with joy?
When will you satisfy me?
