Translation:
Jesus, come yourself to me and remain forever and ever; come, treasured friend of souls, the Dearest my heart intends. A thousand times do I yearn for you, because nothing else pleases me. A thousand times I cry for you, Jesus, Jesus, come to me. There is no desire in the world that will keep my heart satisfied. For you, Jesus, to be with me, is my only desire; all the angels’ glory and splendor and what brings them joy is like a sweet kiss of the soul for me. Without you there is nothing but despair. Take everything from me, I will not change my mind. To you, o Jesus, power alone.
