Ad Jesum Christum, Dominum et Salvatorem...

Fuit tempus, cum plorarem,
anxius circumspectarem,
nec unquam consisterem;
Tu, quid tulerim, sensisti, 
Tu, mi Domine, jussisti,
lacrimas abstergerem.

Verbo tuo excitatum,
sacramento renovatum
perfudisti gaudio.
Angelos clare cantentes,
me inversum triumphantes
auscultavi illico.

O si cor meum arderet,
si contritum adhaereret
crucifixo domino;
Sancto Spiritu repletum,
crucis limiti repletum,
inserviret sedulo.

Quid pro vinculis solutis
reddam tibi? en, salutis
calicem accipiam:
nomen tuum laudaturus,
gloriam praedicaturus
et misericordiam.

Quando os tuum spectabo,
quando totus te amabo,
nec peccabo amplius?
Taedet hic jam commorari,
in coelis te venerari,
Jesu, foret satius!

by Wilhelm Böhmer
