This is an English translation of the lyrics: Come, O’ Bread of life Be the Peace of my heart. Come, O’ Divine Mercy Overflow in my soul, O’ Loving Jesus As salt in the ocean, In your eternal love, let me be dissolved. Let me humbly offer to you My body, Soul and everything. Beyond the horizons How vast is your love, O’ Lord O defender of every moment of life I will sing your glories in songs.
