Original text and translations
(The text appears as one long sentence in the source, without punctuation or capital letters except for ‘Iesu’, so the text division is editorial; the third and fourth sentences are apparently quoted from a prayer for mercy written by St Augustine.)
Latin text
O bone Iesu, salvator mundi, miserere nobis.
Cognoscimus quia peccavimus; veniam petimus quam non meremur.
Vita nostra in dolore suspirat et in opere se non emendat.
Si expectas non corrigimur; si vindicas non duramus.
Ergo bone Iesu, salvator mundi, miserere nobis.
English translation
Gentle Jesus, saviour of the world, have mercy on us.
We know that we have sinned; we beg for a forgiveness which we do not deserve.
Our life is one of pain and sighing, yet we do not mend our ways.
If you wait for us to do so, we do not act aright; if you take vengeance, we cannot withstand it.
Therefore, gentle Jesus, saviour of the world, have mercy on us.
