[Qvha can discriue or put in write]

Qvha can discriue or put in write,
The grace and mercy of our Lord,
Quhais godly giftis infinite,
Men suld remember and record,
Conforme vnto his haly word.
Our Father God Fontaine of grace,
His Sone did send to ransoun vs
From Sin, and all our cairfull case,
And from the Deuill maist dangerous.
And flew that Serpent vennemous.
Christ come rycht sweit, as ane seruand,
Of seruitude to mak vs fre:
And broken hes the Deuillis band,
Quhilk led vs in Captiuitie,
Quhairfoir we thank his grit mercie.
Christ beand ryche in heuinlie gloir,
And we rycht pure and in distres:
Did mak vs riche for euer moir,
Quhairfoir we thank his gentilnes,
Be ressoun of his greit gudnes.
Christ come full humbill and full law,
Us to exalt in Maiestie:
And tholit panis as ȝe knaw,

69

Of hounger, cauld, and miserie.
And we gat lyfe quhen he did die.
Christ als discendit to the hell,
And vs redemit from that paine:
And from the deith did rais him sell,
Na mair to thoill the deid againe,
As we may reid in Scripture plaine.
Christ maid vs iust quhen he vp rais,
Be ressoun of his victorie:
Quhairthrow he vincust all our fais
Sin, deid, and Deuill our Enemie,
And from thair bandis maid vs fre.
Christ passit to the heuinnis hie,
To graith ane place for vs in gloir:
Our aduocate thairfoir to be,
Heirfoir his grace let vs imploir,
That we with him Ring euer moir.
FINIS.
