English term or phrase: But above honey and all his sweet presence
It is a verse from Jesu dulcis memoria by Tomas Luis de Victoria. Latin = Sed super mel et omnia Ejus dulcis praesentia.
I believe it to be a verse in the bible as well, but cannot find it. It follows this verse: Jak je sladka vzpominka na Jezise, pramen ryzi radosti srdce. (to be found in 100's of links, but no continuation...)
I am expected to do an "explain and keep the meaning" job, no poetic or copyrighted work involved. But if there is a bible verse available, would like to offer it as well.

Czech translation:vsak sladsi nez med, ba vse ostani je jeho pritomnost
Explanation:
Hello,

I found the following, though probably not necessary explanation, and tried to find the right words.

Here the short quote, reference see below:
What does presence mean? Sed super mel et omnia, ejus dulcis praesentia. His presence is the best, most beautiful, the sweetest thing in our lives. I am not embarrassed to say this in front of all of you, who are so much the children of your time, of us who are so much the children of our time: “Above all sweet things, You are sweetness to me.”
