Original text and translations

Latin text Jesu dulcis memoria, dans vera cordi gaudia, sed super mel et omnia eius dulcis presentia. Nil canitur suavius, auditur nil iocundius, nil cogitatur dulcius quam Jesus Dei filius.

Dutch translation O Jezus, uw gedachtenis vervult het hart met lafenis, maar honingzoete zaligheid is pas uw tegenwoordigheid. Er is geen liefelijker lied en in het oor zo’n zoetheid niet, en geen gedachte ooit zo schoon als Jezus is, Gods lieve Zoon. [J.W. Schulte Nordholt]

English translation O Jesus, your memory fills the heart with refreshment, but honey-sweet bliss is just your presence. There is no sweeter song and in the ear not such sweetness, and no thought ever so pure as Jesus is, God's dear Son.
