45 Shameful death this lamb, iwis, Shall suffer for us and be all to-torn And rent on a rood. He shall suffer for man's sake. His back shall be bounden to a stake And beaten out all his blood. For that good service thou dost me till. Thy desire is sin to bind, All sinful life thou wouldst spill.
Thine intent has a good end.
The law of God thou dost fufil 60 This time. Baptism to take I come to thee And confirm that sacrament that new shall be. In water that is wide. My lord God, this behooves me not With mine hands to baptize thee. I should rather of thee have sought Holy baptism, than thou of me.
