Lyrics:

O quam amabilis es, bone Jesu, O dulcis Jesu.
Quam delectabilis es, Jesu, O dulcis Jesu.
O cordis iubilum, mentis solatium, O bone Jesu.

O quam admirabilis es, bone Jesu, bone Jesu,
quam admirabilis es, honorabilis es,
quam venerabilis es, bone Jesu, dulcis Jesu.

Semper laudabilis es, Jesu.
Bone Jesu, dulcis Jesu, pie Jesu,
O bone Jesu, pie Jesu!

Translation:
O how kind thou art, good Jesus. O sweet Jesus.
How delightful thou art, Jesus, O sweet Jesus.
Thou the heart’s joy, the mind’s consolation, O good Jesus.

O how admirable thou art, good Jesus, good Jesus,
O how admirable, how honorable thou art,
How venerable thou art, good Jesus, sweet Jesu.

Thou art ever to be praised, Jesus.
Good Jesus, sweet Jesus, holy Jesus,
O good Jesus, holy Jesus!
