Original text and translations

Latin text Veni O Jesu mi, veni O benigne et nubila depelle et lucem tuam infunde queso menti: Ex tuo nam conspectu laeta laetabitur anima tristis Merita tanta volvens quae grata cunctis et digna tandem caelestis erit populi.

English translation Come, O my Jesus, come, O kind one, and dispel the clouds; and pour your light into my mind, I beg; For, out of your sight, the sad mind will happily rejoice Considering such benefits that are welcome to all and the people finally will be worthy of heavenly things.
