From the Latin of Mary Queen of Scots

Oh blessed, my Jesu, I’ve trusted in thee; Oh Saviour, my Jesu, Now liberate me. In horrible prison And gloom have arisen, My sighs, oh my Jesu, incessant to thee; But, oh on my sorrow, Has brightened no morrow, Yet hear me, my Jesu, and liberate me.

Oh blessed, my Jesu, I’ve trusted in thee, And still will I trust thee, To liberate me. And so, while I languish, I cry in my anguish, Adoring, imploring and bending the knee; In sorrow and tremor, Oh blessed Redeemer, Smile on me from Heaven, and liberate me!
