Original text and translations

Spanish text Antes que comáis a Dios En este sacro manjar Alma, será bien pensar Quién es Dios y quién sois vos. Antes que, en vuestra posada recibáis al Rey del cielo Vivid, alma, con recelo Si estáis bien aparejada. Y pues recibís a Dios En este sacro manjar Alma, será bien pensar Quién es Dios y quién sois vos.

German translation Bevor ihr Gott eßt in dieser heiligen Speise, Seele, wird es gut sein, zu bedenken, wer Gott ist und wer ihr seid. Bevor ihr in eurer Herberge den König des Himmels empfangt, lebt, Seele, mit Ängstlichkeit, ob ihr gut disponiert seid. Und da ihr Gott empfangt in dieser heiligen Speise, Seele, wird es gut sein, zu bedenken, wer Gott ist und wer ihr seid.

{{Translation|English| Before you eat the sacred host in this sacred lunch, you should think who is really God and who is really you. Before you receive in your inn the Heaven's King. Let your soul live in some anxiety of being well disposed. And then, when you receive the sacred host in this sacred lunch, you should think who is really God and who is really you.
