Ad latus

"Surge, amica mea, speciosa mea, et veni:
Columba mea in foraminibus petrae, in caverna maceriae."1

Salve latus salvatoris,
In quo latet mel dulcoris.
In quo patet vis amoris,
Ex quo scatet fons cruoris,
Qui corda lavat sordida.

Ecce tibi appropinquo,
Parce, Jesu, si delinquo,
Verecunda quidem fronte,
Ad te tamen veni sponte
Scrutari tua vulnera.

Hora mortis meus flatus
Intret, Jesu, tuum latus,
Hinc expirans in te vadat,
Ne hunc leo trux invadat,
Sed apud te permaneat.

"Surge, amica mea, speciosa mea, et veni:
Columba mea in foraminibus petrae, in caverna maceriae."

by Arnulf of Leuven (c1200-1250) , from Salve mundi salutare (or Rhythmica oratio)
