Lyrics:

Jesu! Rex admirabilis et triumphator nobilis,
dulcedo ineffabilis, totus desiderablis.
Mane nobiscum Domine et nos illustra lumine, 
pulsa mentis caligine, mundum reple dulcedine

Translation:
Jesus, wondrous king and noble conqueror, 
unutterable sweetness, wholly desirable.
Remain with us, Lord,
and shine your light upon us,
drive away the darkness of our minds, fill the world with sweetness.
