Embedded Lyric A (Ihesu, Be Thou My Joy) by Richard Rolle (with rough translation into modern English by flusteredduck)

Ihesu, be thou my ioy,
Al melody and swetnes,
And lere me for to synge,
The sange of thi louynge.

Jesu, be my joy,
All melody and sweetness,
And teach me to sing,
The song of your loving.
