O Jesus, never-failing Treasure,

O Jesus, everlasting Wealth,

O Jesus, true and essential Food,

O Jesus, inexhaustible Drink,

O Jesus, Clothing of the poor,

O Jesus, Defender of widows,

O Jesus, Protector of orphans,

O Jesus, Champion of those in troubles,

O Jesus, Companion of pilgrims,

O Jesus, Pilot of voyagers,

O Jesus, Peaceful Haven of the storm-tossed,

O Jesus, raise me from my fallenness;

O Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me!

O Jesus, my supremely powerful King,

O Jesus, my all-powerful God,

O Jesus, my immortal Lord,

O Jesus, my most glorious Creator,

O Jesus, my supremely good Guide,

O Jesus, my most loving Shepherd,

O Jesus, my Master so rich in mercy,

O Jesus, my Saviour, Friend of Humankind:

O Jesus, enlighten my passion-darkened senses,

O Jesus, heal my sin-wounded body,

O Jesus, cleanse my mind of empty thoughts,

O Jesus, guard my heart from sinful desires;

O Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me!

O Jesus, King of peace, bestow Your peace on me.

O Jesus, sweet-scented Flower, make me fragrant.

O Jesus, longed-for Warmth, warm me.

O Jesus, eternal Temple, shelter me.

O Jesus, majestic Garment, clothe me.

O Jesus, Pearl of great price, make me rich.

O Jesus, precious Gem, enlighten me.

O Jesus, Sun of righteousness, shine on me.

O Jesus, holy Light, make me radiant.

O Jesus, deliver me from weakness of soul and body.

O Jesus, rescue me from the hands of the Enemy.

O Jesus, save me from the eternal torments of hell.

O Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me!

A hymn from between 9th-11th centuries
