Oremus, Domine ihesu christe.

We þe byddeþ, ihesu cryst,
Godes sone alyue,
Sete crouche, pyne and passyoun,
And þy deþe þat hys ryue,

By-tuext ous and iugement,
Þat no fend ous ne schende,
Nou, ne wanne þe tyme comþe
Þet we scholle hennes wende;

And ȝyf þe lyues mylse and grace,
Þe dede red and reste,
Holy cherche acord and pays,
Ous glorye and lyf þat beste;

Þat leuest and regnest wyþ þe fader
Þer neuer nys no pyne,
And also wyþ þe holy gost,
Euere wyþ-oute fyne.
