1Comon on Ă°in yrfe, Â Â Â Â Âece Drihten,
fremde Ăľeode,     ÂĂľa Ăľin fæle hus,
ealh haligne     Âyfele gewemdan.
Settan Hierusalem     Âsamod anlicast
swa in æppelbearu     Âane cytan;
2swylce hi setton     Âswylt Ăľinum esnum,
sealdon flæsc heora     Âfuglum to mose,
haligra lic     Âhundum and deorum.
3Hi Ăľara bearna blod     Âon byrig leton
swa man gute wæter     Âymb Hierusalem;
blodige lagan, Â Â Â Â Ânahtan byrgendas.
4We synd gewordene     Âwera cneorissum
eallum edwitstæf     Âymbsittendum,
Ăľe us ahwær neah     Ânu Ă°a syndon.
5Hu wilt Ăľu, wuldres god, Â Â Â Â ÂwraĂ° yrre Ăľin
on ende fram us     Âæfre oncyrran?
is nu onbærned     Âbiter Ăľin yrre
on Ă°inum folce     Âfyre hatre.
6Ageot yrre Ăľin     Âon þæt rice
and on cneowmagas     ÂĂľe ne cunnan Ă°e,
ne naman Ăľinne     Âneode cigeaĂ°.
7For Ăľon hi Iacob     Âgeara ætan,
and his wicstede     Âwestan gelome.
8Ne gemune Ăľu to oft, Â Â Â Â Âmihta wealdend,
ealdra unrihta     ÂĂľe we oft fremedon,
ac we hraĂ°e begytan     Âhyldo Ă°ine,
for Ăľon we Ă°earfende     ÂĂľearle syndon.
9Gefultuma us,     Âfrea ælmihtig,
and alys us, Â Â Â Â Âlifigende god;
weorĂ° urum synnum     Âsefte and milde
for naman Ăľinum     Âneode and aare.
10Ăžy læs æfre cweĂ°an     ÂoĂ°re Ăľeoda,
hæðene herigeas,     Â“Hwær com eower halig God?”
and us þæt on eagum     Âoftust worpen,
þær manna wese     Âmæst ætgædere.
Wrec agen blod     Âesna Ăľinra,
þæt wæs sarlice agoten,     Âþær Ăľu gesawe to;
11geonge for Ă°e     Âgnornendra care
Ăľara Ăľe on feterum     Âfæste wæran.
Æfter Ă°ines earmes     Âæðelum mægene
gegang Ăľa deaĂ°a bearn     ÂĂľe hi demaĂ° nu.
12Gyld nu gramhydigum, Â Â Â Â Âswa hi geearnedan,
on sceat hiora     Âseofonfealde wrace,
for Ăľon hi edwit on Ăľe     Âealle hæfdon.
13We Ăľin folc wærun     Âand fæle sceap
eowdes Ăľines; Â Â Â Â Âwe Ă°e andettaĂ°,
and Ăľe to worulde     Âwuldur sæcgeaĂ°
and Ăľe on worulda woruld     Âwordum heriaĂ°.
