!style="padding:15px;"|<poem>Lord Jesus Christ, welcome You be! | |||
In the form of bread, You I do see. | |||
Lord Jesus Christ, with Your Holy Name, | |||
Shield me today from my sins and shame. | |||
Absolution and the Holy Eucharist, Lord, You grant me both. | |||
Before I shall go from here; | |||
And with sincere contrition of my sins, | |||
That I, Lord, will never die therein. | |||
And as you are of a maiden born, | |||
Suffer me to never be forlorn. | |||
But when I shall go, | |||
Grant me the joys of heaven with infinite glow. | |||

* the original and modern translation are from this wonderful discussion thread on Middle English translations: https://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?85822-Translation-Help-Middle-English but it used a different original text | |||
* the book, Stripping of the Altars presents a shorter version, | |||
<blockquote>''Ihesu, lord welcome thow be | |||
