HOra sexta cristus est cruci conclauatus
Et est cum latronibus pendens deputatus,
Pre tormentis siciens felle saturatus;
Agnus crimen diluit sic deificatus.
v. Adoramus te, criste, & benedicimus tibi, Quia per crucem tuam redemisti mundum.
At Midday Ihesu hondes : Þei nayleden to þe Rode,
Bi-twene twey þeues : Þei him hengen as wode;
Þei ȝeuen him galle and Eysel : Ihesu þat blisful fode.
Serewful were boþe Marie an Ion : Þer þei bi him stode,
As folk þat were mad.
53
Whose þenkeþ on Marie serwe : May he neuere be glad.
v. Crist, honoured mote þou beo,
Þat bouhtest al þe world on treo.
56
or. Lord Ihesu, godes sone : Þat sunful mon wolt not tyne,
Bi-twenen vr soules and þi dom : Puttest þe in hard pyne;
Þi cros, þi deþ nou and euere : And at vr endyng-tyme
Graunte liuinde men : Grace and Merci þyne,
60
To þe dede, reste and pardoun;
To churche, pes, loue in londe : To sunful, contricioun.
v. Cristes passion, heuene kyng,
Bring us to blisse þat is wiþ-outen endyng.
