[For lufe of one I mak my mone]
For lufe of one I mak my mone,Richt secreitlie:
To Christ Iesu, that Lord maist trew
For his mercy.
Beseiking that fre, grant grace to me,
Or I be gone:
And to redres, my heuines,
115
Or I be deid, send me remeid,
For thy pietie,
O Lord quhilk wrocht, all thing of nocht,
Grant me thy mercy.
We the beseik with wordis meik,
O mercyfull Lord,
Thy humill word, with ane accord.
Let be restord,
To sinneris all, quhen they do call,
For thy mercy.
For quhilk on Rude, thow sched thy blude,
Richt plenteouslie:
Sanct Iohne did tell, thow heryit hell,
And schew mercie.
Ane thousand scoir, thow did restoir,
To thy glorie.
O king of peace, in quhome is grace,
Haboundantlie:
My miserabill life, and sinnis ryfe,
Thow forgeue me.
Sen be na richt, I haue na micht,
Me to defend:
Fra hellis pane, bot giue thow plane,
Me sucour send.
Be thy sweit word, to me o Lord,
In my distres:
Ane thousand syse, than sall I pryse.
Thy halines:
Lat vs now sing, and loue the King,
For his greit mercie:
And his greit grace, schawik vs the space,
Sa plenteouslie.

Richt hartfullie:
With hart and Spreit, sing Psalmes sweit
Richt plesandlie.
As brether deir, in this lyfe heir,
We may indure:
Baith nicht and day, to Christ lat vs pray,
To mak vs sure.
FINIS.
