| O MY deir hert, young Jesus sweit, | |
| Prepare thy creddil in my spreit, | |
| And I sall rock thee in my hert | |
| And never mair from thee depart. | |
| |
| But I sall praise thee evermoir | 5 |
| With sangis sweit unto thy gloir; | |
| The knees of my hert sall I bow, | |
| And sing that richt Balulalow! | |
