Is oure comforte alone.

Adam and Eve did geve concent
Vnto the feende, that vile serpent;
Wherfore mankyende to helle was sent
Without comfort alone.

Whenne it therin long tyme hadde layne,
Crist, goddes sonne, came, in certayne,
To take nature and suffre payne
To comfort it alone.

As the sonne beame gothe thurgh the glas,
Thurgh virgyne Marie he did pas
Taking nature, as his wille was,
To save mankynde alone.

4

That lorde so good vpon the roode
Suffred vile dethe and shed his bloode;
Whoos flesshe and bloode is endeles foode
To feithfull man alone.

5

Now beseche we that king of grace
In blis for to graunte vs a place
And hym to se there face to face,
That is bothe iij. and one.
