Who is blessed forever, and God over all.
36⁠The Father’s delight, to mount Calvry repairs,
With scourging and bleeding his bones on him stare.
There both Jew and Gentile conjunctly agree.
That Christ most: be crucified on mount Calvry,
37⁠Divine hidden mercy creation confounds,
The angels, from heaven, with wonder look'd down,
The clouds of wrath were ready to fall
And crush guilty sinners, Christ suffers for all.

When the glory of God did salvation proclaim.
23⁠The Father’s delight gives eyes to the blind,
Barthmews, the beggar, he leaves not behind.
Gave him eyes for to see and a heart for to sing;
He joyfully follows his God and his king.
24⁠Jerusalem Christ does repair.
On an ass he did rule, the word does declare.
The multitude siging, as Jesus goes on,
Hosonna, in the highesf, a heavenly song.
25⁠The time is now come, the hour does draw nigh,
That Christ; for poor sinners intends for to die
The angels do wonder, the church now may sing,
Ye mourners in sion sing songs to your King.
