| Credo | |
| I believe in the Lord from heaven, | |
| splendid creed, He was kind, | |
| Protector who keeps me from misadventure, | |
| 4 | blessing of the multitude, may God lead. |
| Let him give freely, perfect Prince, | |
| some advice to me how to praise | |
| Jesus and Mary dearly and fittingly | |
| 8 | [to protect me] against dire need. |
| It is right for everyone, name without settled form, | |
| to praise God before all else. | |
| Jesus the chosen one was good | |
| 12 | and his father and mother were good. |
| Christ's father was the best father | |
| of all the fathers of Christendom, bright bringer of joy. | |
| May the host of heaven take us in! | |
| 16 | His mother was the best mother. |
| He will be a warrant for every word of truth. | |
| The son of Mary is the very best son. | |
| The best girl beneath a golden crown, | |
| 20 | she is the fairest and most generous. |
| It was good to bear a man from heaven | |
| as our kinsman, mark of goodness. | |
| This is the one whom [the prophets] promised to Israel. | |
| 24 | He was old and young and generous. |
| He was born to suffer willingly | |
| as a golden man and God of heaven. | |
| The Lord Jesus made many | |
| 28 | of his followers apostles and saints. |
| He made the Lord's Prayer and the mass, | |
| He made prayers and learned books. | |
| He gave belief to the common people, | |
| 32 | He distributed amongst them bread and wine. |
| He gave his body on the rood tree | |
| to redeem all the people of the world without forfeit. | |
| For forty hours, fair glory, | |
| 36 | generous Jesus was in the grave. |
| After our kinsman rose up | |
| to fetch everyone from prison, | |
| after the complete martyrdom, | |
| 40 | my Lord went up to heaven |
| where the cross of God will be placed, says Saint Jerome, | |
| and Christ the Lord will be proclaimed. | |
| Neither the devil nor any of his kind | |
| 44 | will come (he cannot protect his progeny), |
| true son of Mary, promise of love, | |
| to conquer the kingdom of the Father. | |
| Uttering [the name of] Jesus is a beneficial word, | |
| 48 | and it was Mary's favourite word. |
| It is a word of love from the throne | |
| and the Blessed Son was conceived from the word. | |
| God is the word, faultless love, | |
| 52 | and the word is God our true Father. |
| May God be our support and helper, | |
| Amen, we wish for no more. | |
