1. [https://www.corpusthomisticum.org/pat.html Adoro te devote], latens Deitas(/veritas),
quae sub his figuris vere latitas:
tibi se cor meum totum subjicit,
quia te contemplans totum deficit.

2. Visus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur,
sed auditu solo tuto creditur;
credo quidquid dixit Dei Filius:
nil hoc verbo Veritatis verius.

3. In cruce latebat sola Deitas,
at hic latet simul et humanitas:
ambo tamen credens atque confitens,
peto quod petivit latro poenitens.

4. Plagas, sicut Thomas, non intueor:
Deum tamen meum te confiteor:
fac me tibi semper magis credere,
in te spem habere, te diligere.

5. O memoriale mortis Domini!
Panis vivus vitam praestans homini!
Praesta meae menti de te vivere
et te illi semper dulce sapere.

6. Pie Pellicane, Jesu Domine,
me immundum munda tuo sanguine,
cujus una stilla salvum facere
totum mundum quit ab omni scelere.

7. Jesu, quem velatum nunc aspicio,
oro, fiat illud quod tam sitio:
ut te revelata cernens facie,
visu sim beatus tuae gloriae.
Amen.

8. Te cum revelata cernam facie,
visu tandem laetus tuae gloriae;
Patri, tibi laudes et Spiritui,
dicam beatorum iunctus coetui.}}

{{Translation|German|
1. Sieh mich, verborg'ne Gottheit, anbetend tief vor Dir,
Du, in Gestaltenhülle wahrhaft verborgen mir;
Dir geb' ich gefangen restlos Herz und Sinn,
Denn in Deinem Anschau'n schmilzt mein Herz dahin.

2. Hände Dich nicht fassen, Augen Dich nicht schau'n,
Nur des Ohres Zeugnis darf man sicher trau'n.
Was Gott-Sohn gesprochen, ist mir Glaubenshort,
Nichts ist wahrhaft wahrer als der Wahrheit Wort.

3. War am Kreuz verborgen einst die Gottheit nur,
Ist uns hier entschwunden auch der Menschheit Spur.
Beide dennoch glaubend und bekennend treu,
Bitt' ich, was gebeten einst des Schächers Reu.

4. Nicht wie Thomas schaue Deine Wunden ich,
Meinen Gott doch nenn' ich, fest bekennend, Dich;
Fester laß mich stets Dir glaubend hängen an,
Sich'rer hoffend immer, tiefer liebend nah'n.

5. Denkmal Du, gemahnend an des Herren Tod,
Gibst dem Menschen Leben, Du lebend'ges Brot;
Meines Herzens Leben sei nur Du allein,
Laß es Deine Süße stets empfinden rein.

6. Pelikan voll Liebe, Jesu, Herre mein,
Wasch mit Deinem Blute mich Befleckten rein,
Kann schon ein Tropfen heilen alle Welt,
Daß der Sünde Makel restlos von ihr fällt.

7. Jesu, den ich schaue nun geheim verhüllt,
Wann wird Wahrheit werden, was den Durst mir stillt,
Daß die Hülle fällt von Deinem Angesicht,
Daß ich selig schaue Dich in Glorienlicht?}}

{{Translation|Italian|
1. Adoro Te devotamente, o Dio nascosto,
Che sotto queste apparenze Ti celi veramente:
A te tutto il mio cuore si abbandona,
Perché, contemplandoTi, tutto vien meno.

2. La vista, il tatto, il gusto, in Te si ingannano
Ma solo con l'udito si crede con sicurezza:
Credo tutto ciò che disse il Figlio di Dio,
Nulla è più vero di questa parola di verità.

3. Sulla croce era nascosta la sola Divinità,
Ma qui è celata anche l'Umanità:
Eppure credendo e riconoscendo entrambe,
Chiedo ciò che domandò il ladrone pentito.

4. Le piaghe, come Tommaso, non vedo,
Tuttavia riconosco Te mio Dio.
Fa ch'io creda sempre più in Te,
Che in Te abbia speranza, che Ti ami.

5. O memoriale della morte del Signore,
Pane vivo, che dai la vita all'uomo,
Concedi al mio spirito di vivere di Te,
E di sentire in Te sempre il sapore della dolcezza.

6. O pio Pellicano, Signore Gesù,
Purifica me, immondo, col tuo sangue,
Del quale una sola goccia può salvare
Il mondo intero da ogni peccato.

7. Oh Gesù, che velato ora contemplo,
Ti prego che avvenga ciò che tanto bramo,
Che, contemplando Te a volto scoperto,
Io sia in tale visione beato della tua gloria.
Così sia.}}

{{Translation|English|
1. Godhead here in hiding, whom I do adore,
Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more,
See, Lord, at your service low lies here a heart
Lost, all lost in wonder at the God you are.

2. Seeing, touching, tasting are in thee deceived:
How says trusty hearing? that shall be believed;
What God's Son has told me, take for truth I do;
Truth Himself speaks truly or there's nothing true.

3. On the cross your godhead made no sign to men,
Here your very manhood steals from human ken:
Both are my confession, both are my belief,
And I pray the prayer of the dying thief.

4. I am not like Thomas, wounds I cannot see,
But can plainly call you Lord and God as he;
Let me to a deeper faith daily nearer move,
Daily make me harder hope and dearer love.

5. You are our reminder of Christ crucified,
Living Bread, the life of us for whom he died,
Lend this life to me then: feed and feast my mind
With your sweetness that we all were meant to find.

6. Bring the tender tale true of the Pelican;
Bathe me, Jesu Lord, in what your bosom ran
Blood whereof a single drop has power to win
All the world forgiveness of its world of sin.

7. Jesu, whom I look at shrouded here below,
I beseech you send me what I thirst for so,
Some day to gaze on you face to face in light
And be blest for ever with your glory's sight.
Amen.}}
