For her love that this counsel knew,
So be my comfort, Christ Jesus. Jesus, soothfast God and man, Two kinds knit in one person, The wonder-work that thou began Thou hast fulfilled in flesh and bone. Out of this world wightly thou wan, _thou didst win, or make Lifting up thyself alone; [thy way, powerfully._ For mightily thou rose and ran Straight unto thy Father on throne. Now dare man make no more moan-- For man it is thou wroughtest thus, And God with man is made at one; So be my comfort, Christ Jesus. Jesu, my sovereign Saviour, Almighty God, there ben no mo: _there are no more--thou Christ, thou be my governor; [art all in all.(?)_ Thy faith let me not fallen fro. _from_ Jesu, my joy and my succour, In my body and soul also, God, thou be my strongest food, the rhyme fails here. And wisse thou me when me is woe. _think on me._ Lord, thou makest friend of foe, Let me not live in languor thus, But see my sorrow, and say now "Ho," And be my comfort, Christ Jesus. |
