I imposed the traditional rhythms of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" onto this transcription and adaptation. I did not include the various "clues" to the "Libera me" at the end of each stanza from the original.

Bone Jesu Dulcis Cunctis – Anonymous notated by Jason Hunsaker

English translation (from Google Translate):
[1] Good Jesus, sweet to all, Son of the Eternal Father, We pray to You for the departed; Be gracious and favorable to them. Quickly reveal Your wounds To the Father on behalf of Your servant, So that he may more fully enjoy Your everlasting joy.
[2] Mary, fount of sweetness, Queen of the ages, Mother of God and of man, Consolation of the sorrowful: Lead him forth from the prison of torments Through your loving prayer; Unite him with the melodies of the angels In the court of heaven.
[3] O Michael, Prince of the Angels, Victor over the dragon; Gabriel, Ambassador of the heavens, Endowed with many gifts; Raphael, who stands before the King In the heavenly realm: Place this departed soul—who lived under God’s law— Upon the thrones of heaven.
[4] John, a burning lamp, And the eloquent Patriarchs; Peter, who unlocks the heights of heaven; Paul, great teacher of the world; Joyful Apostles, Together with all the disciples, And the innocents, pure in body: Assist this soul with your prayers.
[5] Stephen, who earned the crown As the first of the martyrs; Lawrence, deacon of Christ, Great giant and bearer of Christ; O Martyrs, with fervent zeal, Beseech the sweet Jesus To place this soul—now freed from the body— Among the joyful.
[6] Gregory, sower of sacred doctrine; Martin, equal to the Apostles; Francis, bearer of the sacred wounds; Anthony and Bernardine: Earn for him, through your supplications, Glory without end, So that he may be happily established At the very summit of the heavens.
[7] O Mary Magdalene, Agnes, Martha, Catherine, Clara of the serene countenance, Elizabeth, and Christina... O bands of virgins, beseech the merciful God, that He may take away the sins of the departed after this exile.
[8] O glorious company of all the saints, illustrious court of heaven, the funeral rites of the faithful departed are being celebrated. Through your earnest prayer, may you guide them to the Lord of glory, so that they may be placed in rest with the saints forever and ever.
