Alma redemtoris mater
Swete lady, now ȝe wys,
As ye bene quene of heuen blys,
Why þat yowre name callyd ys
Redemtoris mater.
As ye bene quene of heuen blys,
Why þat yowre name callyd ys

I saw gabryel cum doune with lyȝth,
To me he seyde, þat swete wyȝth,
‘Aue maria, þu shalt hyȝth
Redemtoris mater.’

‘Aue maria, þu shalt hyȝth
Redemtoris mater.’
‘Man to safe þat was for-lore,
As prophetis seyde here be-fore,
Ihūs of þe now wyll by bore,
Redemtoris mater.’
As prophetis seyde here be-fore,
Ihūs of þe now wyll by bore,
Redemtoris mater.’
Oure ladye merwaylede al yn here þoȝth,
How þat þe angele seyde myȝt be wroȝth,
Syne mane she knewe nott,
Redemtoris mater.
How þat þe angele seyde myȝt be wroȝth,
Syne mane she knewe nott,
Redemtoris mater.
‘Now drede þe nouȝt, my lady bryȝth,
The holy gost one yow ys lyȝth,
And werke so þat ye shall hyȝth
Redemtoris mater.’
The holy gost one yow ys lyȝth,
And werke so þat ye shall hyȝth
Redemtoris mater.’
Worþy lady, & quene of blysse,
Off þy mercy lete vs not mysse,
Thynke þat þy name called ys

Lete þy mercy now spring & sprede,
ffor-sake not man for hys mysdede,
To þe men call in euery nede,
Redemtoris mater.

Lyft vp þy hert, man, & see
The frout of lyfe she beryth to þe.
Withoute ende here name shall be

An Angele seyde to þe mayden fre,
‘The holygost shall com to the
And þorowe hys werkyne þu shalt be
Redemtoris mater.’
‘The holygost shall com to the

Maydene & modyr yn on persone.
was neuer non fownde but ye Alone;
Pray we All to heuyne kynge A bone,
Redemtoris mater.
