CXLVII. To the we make oure mone,
Moder of Crist, alone.

1

Sith thou hast born the kyng of grace,
Thatt sittith so highe in trone,
Therfore atte nede in euery case
To þe we make our mone.

2

Sith thou art quene of euery place,
Thou maist graunt us oure bone;
Therfore, while we haue tyme and space,
To þe we make our mone.

3

Sith of mercy thou berist the mace
And so doth othere none,
Therfore before thy sonnys face
For us make thou thy mone.

4

Sith all oure trust is putte in the

Therfore, moder of Crist so fre,
At nede here þou our mone.

5

When we shall dye and yelde our gost
And owte of this worlde gone,
Besiche thatte lorde of myghtis most
Mekely to here our mone.

6

When we shall stonde atte domys day
Before thy sonne echone,
Be oure confort then, we the pray,
Modere of Crist, alone.
