Alma redemptoris mater.
As I lay vp-on a nyth,
my thowth was on a berd so brith
that men clepyn Marye ful of myth,
redemptoris mater.
[T]o here cam Gabryel wyth lyth
and seyd, 'Heyl be thou, blysful wyth,
to ben clepyd now art thou dyth,
redemptoris mater.'
At that wurd that lady byrth
anon conseyuyd God, ful of myth;
than men wyst weel that sche hyth
redemptoris mater.
[Q]wan Ihesu on the rode was pyth,
Mary was doolful of that syth
til sche sey hym ryse vp-rith,
redemptoris mater.
Ihesu, that syttyst in heuene lyth,
graunt vs to comyn be-forn thi sith,
wyth that berde that is so brith,
redemptoris mater.
