Tu exurgens, Domine, misereberis Syon, quia tempus miserendi eius, quia venit tempus.

Thow schalt vprise & Syon ruwe,
For tyme is come of hir mercy;
Syon is Holy Chirche trewe
Of men þat lyuen Cristenly.
A stidefast seed in hir þou sewe,
And tauȝtist hir so tendirly
How þat sche schulde synne eschewe
And loue thee moost hertily.
