Baneist is faith now euerie quhair,
And sair forthinkis me:
Baneist is faith now euerie quhair
Be the schauin sort I ȝow declair,
Allace thairfoir my hart is sair
And blyith I can nocht be.

Quhair we war wount to go richt glaid,
Furth of captiuitie,
Quhair we war wount to go richt glaid,
Now haue thay vs with chargis ouerlaid,
Quhilk bene sa dampnabill, and sa sad.
That blyith we can nocht be.

Thay keip the key from vs allace,
Quhairby enter suld we.
Thay keip the key from vs allace,
And puttis vs downe all mercyles
We ar ouerthrawin in euerie place.
That blyith we can nocht be.

Ryse vp I pray the now sweit Lord,
And from thair crueltie.
Ryse vp I pray the now sweit Lord,
Defend vs according to thy word
Or we sall perische be fyre, and sword,
That shawis the veritie.
