O Iesu méeke, ye swetest thought,
That yeldes eche hart true ioy:
More swete it is thē yet was ought
Thy presence to ioioy.

No swéeter tune or note can be
More pleasaunt to the eare,
Nor thoght foūd out so swéete as he
That is Gods sonne and heyre.

Thou Iesu hope to sinners all,
On thée that cry with willing mind
How louing art and naturall,
To them that thée doo finde.

To Father thine al glory be,
All wisdome eke to thée most pure,
The holy ghost in Trinitie,
Be praysd for euer to endure. Amē.
