To thee now, Christës dear darling,That were a maiden both eld and ying,
Mine heart is set to thee to sing,

For thou were so clean a may,The privities of heaven forsooth thou say,
When on Christës breast thou lay,
Amice Christi, Johannes.

To die with him was all thy thought,
Amice Christi, Johannes.

Thou be our help we be not forsake,
Amice Christi, Johannes.
