Benigne fac, Domine, in bona uoluntate tua [Sion, ut edificentur muri Ierusalem].

With benigne wil do to Syon
Þat Ierusalem walles were vp wroght;
Ierusalem, as saith seint Ion,
Is Holy Chirche, þat errith noght.
Too testamentes cordyng in oon,
Thise were walles to-gedir broght,
When Crist hym-self was corner stoon,
That mannes soule had dere boght.
