Original text and translations

Latin text Iam mundi linque vana A recto avocant Namque infida Ad Cristum verte mentem Cum quo letari poteris sectando Dic o benigne Iesu Cadenti succurre in te speranti.

German translation Lass fahren nun die Eitelkeiten der Welt, sie führen ab vom rechten Weg, denn sie sind trügerisch. Wende deinen Geist zu Christus, denn jenen folgend könntest du sterben. Sprich: O gütiger Jesus, hilf den Strauchelnden, die an dich glauben. Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation Relinquish now the vanities of the world, they lead you off the right way, for they are treacherous. Turn your mind to Christ, for following these you might die. Speak: O benign Jesus, help the falling that believe in you. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
