Ne derelinquas me, Domine Deus meus; ne discesseris a me.

My Lord, my God, forsake me noght,
Depart thow me neuer the fro,
Hold vp thi hous þat thow hast wroght,
Forsake noght, Lord, my soule so!
This is thi woorde, thow hast it boght;
Elynges it were if thow were goo;
Therfore, Ihesu, lett neuer thoght
Ne worde ne dede part vs a-two.
