Original text and translations

Latin text Iesu, dulcis memoria, Dans vera cordis gaudia; Sed super mel et omnia Eius dulcis praesentia. Nil canitur suavius, Nil auditur iucundius, Nil cogitatur dulcius, Quam Iesus, Dei Filius.

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.
