1. Jesu, Rex admirabilis
Et triumphator nobilis
Dulcedo ineffabilis
Totus desiderabilis.
2. Mane nobiscum Domine
Et nos illustra lumine
Pulsa mentis caligine
Mundum reple dulcedine.
Translation:
1. Jesus, wondrous king
and noble conqueror,
unutterable sweetness,
wholly desirable:
2. Remain with us, Lord,
and shine your light upon us,
drive away the darkness of our minds,
fill the world with sweetness.
