Quum vitæ somnio exoriens, Sub undâ luctuosâ moriens Ero submersus ;

Beate Jesu in amore,

Me omni libera timore,

Et ferar a Te Redemptore
In cælum versus.

XXIV

PECCATA mea Jesu
Agno Dei trado ;
Cuncta fert, me liberat

Onere damnato.

A me offensa mea

Ad Jesum jam feruntur, In Ejus caro sanguine

Labes albicantur.

Pro Jesu desideria

Pleno gratiæ pando;

Morbo et morte solvit,
Ipsum pro me dando.
Curas Ei affero,

Onera et mærores;
Emancipat omnino,

Et meos fert dolores.

Super Eum animam

Languidam acclino;

His right hand me embraces,

I on His breast recline.
I love the name of Jesus,

Immanuel, Christ, the Lord;
Like fragrance on the breezes,
His name abroad is poured.

I long to be like Jesus,
Meek, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus,

The Father's holy Child.

I long to be with Jesus,

Amid the heavenly throng,
To sing with saints His praises,
To learn the angels' song.

XXV

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In a believer's ear!

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear.

It makes the wounded spirit whole,

And calms the troubled breast;

'Tis manna to the hungry soul,

And to the weary rest.

Dear Name! the rock on which I build,

My shield and hiding-place,

Dextra me amplectitur,
Jaceo in sinu.

Nomen Jesu diligo,

Christi, Immanuelis ;

Ut ventus odoratus
Defluit de cælis.

Ad Jesum ut accedam
A me desideratum ;
Patris amantem lenem

Filium beatum.

Profundo corde volo

Cum Eo habitare,

In angelorum choro

Cum sanctis adorare.

XXV

QUAM dulce Jesu nomen est

Fideli audienti,

In omnibus solamen est

Ei, jam non timenti.

Contritum cor resuscitat,

Turbatam sedat mentem;

Esurienti cibum dat,

Defesso fert quietem.

O carum nomen, mî Rupes,

Refugium, Tutamen,

My never-failing treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace.

By Thee my prayers acceptance gain, Although with sin defiled;

Satan accuses me in vain,

And I am owned a child.

Jesus, my Shepherd, Husband, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King,

My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring.

Weak is the effort of my heart,

And cold my warmest thought; But, when I see Thee as Thou art, I'll praise Thee as I ought.

Till then I would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of Thy name
Refresh my soul in death.

XXVI

SUN of my soul, Thou Saviour dear,

It is not night if Thou be near;
O may no earth-born cloud arise

To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.

Thesaurus inexhaustus es,
Perpetuum solamen!

Me Deus audit, propter Te,
Peccato jam fœdatum;
Accusat Sathan frustra me
Redemptum Dei natum.

Jesu, Amice, Pastor, Rex,
Sacerdos, Sponse, Vates,

Via et Vita, Meta, Dux,
Accipias meas grates!

Infirmum cor tentat famam

Frustra Tuam sonare; Quum cernam totam gloriam, Tum cœpero laudare.

Sed nunc, Dilecte, canam Te

Fugaci omni aurâ;

Et Tuum dulce nomen me
Juvet in mortis horâ.

XXVI

CORDIS Sol, Salvator care,

Tecum nox non potest stare;

Surgat nulla nubes terræ,

Celans Te de servi ore.
