Iesu, nostra redémptio amor et desidérium, Deus creátor ómnium, homo in fine témporum,
Quæ te vicit cleméntia, ut ferres nostra crímina, crudélem mortem pátiens, ut nos a morte tólleres;

Tu esto nostrum gáudium, qui es futúrus præmium; sit nostra in te glória per cuncta semper sǽcula. Amen.

Qui, per dilectiónis viam ad nos descendísti,
— per hanc ad te nos ascéndere concéde.
Qui fore promisísti, ut omnes tráheres ad teípsum,
— néminem ex nobis patiáris a tuo córpore divélli.
Quo tu ascendísti glorificátus,
— illuc te nunc prǽvium mente sequámur et corde.

Thou who promised to draw everyone to Yourself,
- do not allow any of us to live far from Thy body.
May we live in heaven with our hearts and desires,
- where Thy humanity has been glorified, like our own
Since we await Thou as God and judge of all men,
- One day, we will be able to contemplate Thy mercy in Thy majesty, with our deceased brethren and sisters.
