To Crucify the Son and pierce his breast,
to sacrify him that I might not die,
it is very sure proof, Lord, of love,
to show thyself so full of love for me.

So that — I God, thou mortal man — I should
give thee the godly being then were mine,
and in this my mortality lay me down
that of so good a God I might have joy.

And yet thy love received no recompense
when thou didst raise me up to excellency
of godhood, and to manhood God didst humble.

I owe and rightfully shall ever owe
the debt that by the Son upon the cross
was paid for me that thou mightst be requited.
