Lyrics:

Cor Jesu, infinite amans, Cor Jesu, amans et amandum.
O Cor Jesu, amore vulneratum, exaudi preces supplicum.
Cor Jesu, usque ad mortem in horto tristissimum.
O Cor Jesu, fons amoris, exaudi preces supplicum,
miserere nobis peccatoribus.
O Cor dulcis Jesu.

English translation:
Heart of Jesus, infinitely loving, 
Heart of Jesus, loving and needing to be loved.
O Heart of Jesus, wounded by love, 
hear the prayers of those who cry out to you.
Heart of Jesus, very sad unto death in the garden,
O Heart of Jesus, font of love, 
hear the prayers of those who cry out to you, 
have mercy on us sinners.
O Heart of sweet Jesus.
