Thou didst great love tonight,
dear'st consort of I.
I pray thou'st lovely new light
Upon this world we lie.
Thou didst great awe in my life
thou did, my dear'st love.
Thou'st remove'd all pain and strife
like a plot of lovely foxglove.
Thou didst me greatest service
thou fought our suffering pain.
Alas, thou wasn't nervous
to fight it in pelting rain.
Thou granted me great love
This I cannot deny
we fit like bevy'd doves
Upon our Lord's graceful Eye.
