LAETENTUR COELI
JESU! REX ADMIRABILIS
BONUS EST DOMINUS
Laetèntur Coeli
et exsùltet terra
commòveatur mare
et plenitùdo eius;
gaudèbunt campi,
et òmnia quae in eis sunt.
Let the heavens rejoice,
and let the earth be glad:
let the sea make a noise,
and all that is therein.
--------------------------------------------
1 Jesu, Rex admirabilis
Et triumphator nobilis
Dulcedo ineffabilis
Totus desiderabilis.
2 Mane nobiscum Domine
Et nos illustra lumine
Pulsa mentis caligine
Mundum reple dulcedine.
1 Jesus, wondrous king
and noble conqueror,
unutterable sweetness,
wholly desirable:
2 Remain with us, Lord,
and shine your light upon us,
drive away the darkness of our minds,
fill the world with sweetness.
----------------------------------------------------
Bonus est Dominus
sperantibus in eum
animae quaerenti illum.
The Lord is good,
he awaits those
who seek him.
