Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text

Iesu, dulcis memoria,
dans vera cordis gaudia;
sed super mel et omnia
eius dulcis praesentia.

Nil canitur suavius,
auditur nil iucundius,
nil cogitatur dulcius,
quam Iesus, Dei Filius.

English.png English translation

Jesus, sweet memory,
giving true joys of heart,
but His sweet presence
is more than honey and all else.

Nothing more agreeable is sung,
nothing more delightful is heard,
nothing more sweet is thought of
than Jesus, Son of God.
