Thow dereste disciple of Jhesu Criste,
Most best belovid & beste be-triste,
Which at his last soper did lye on his breste,
Sacra fluenta potare.
[Pray for vs to the trinite,
Johannes, Cristi care!]

As he in his passion to his dere moder
Toke the for her keper, her son & his broþer,
Pray þat owr hartis may most of all other
Jhesum semper amare.
[Pray for vs to the trinite,
Johannes, Cristi care!]

And as þou þe stronge venym which II men had slayn,
Drank withowt hurt, & raysed them agayn,
Pray þat þe venym of syn may vs not payn,
Non poterit alligare.
[Pray for vs to the trinite,
Johannes, Cristi care!]

As þou þe II men ther tresure dide restore,
Þat had forsakyn & morned ther fore,
Pray þat we may fals riches forsak for euermore,
Celis tesavrizare.
[Pray for vs to the trinite,
Johannes, Cristi care!]

And pray þat we may haue suche grace,
Here so to morne for owr trespas,
Þat we may stond siker beffore Cristis face,
Cum venerit judicare.
[Pray for vs to the trinite,
Johannes, Cristi care!]
