Domine Deus!

speravi in te;

O care mi Jesu!

nunc libera me.

In dura catena,

in misera poena,

Disidero te.

Languendo, jemendo,

et genuflectendo,

Adoro, imploro,

ut liberes me

My Lord, my God!

I have trusted in you;

O dear Jesus,

set me free now.

In hard chains,

in miserable pains,

I am longing for you!

Languishing, moaning,

and kneeling,

I adore, I beg you,

to set me free

(Translation: Z. DE MEESTER )
