by Charles, Duc d'Orléans (1394 - 1465)
Translation

My gostly fader
 (Sung text for setting by J. Edmunds)
 Matches base text
Language: English  after the English 
My gostly fader, I me confesse,
First to God and then to you,
That at a window (wot ye how?)
I stole a kiss of grete sweteness,
Which don was done advisedly;
But hit is doon, not undoon now.
My gostly fader, I me confesse
First to God and then to you.

But I restore it doubtless shall 
Agein, if so be it that I may;
And that to God I make a vow
And elles I ask forgiveness.
My gostly fader, I me confesse
First to God and then to you.

Composition:

    Set to music by John Edmunds (1913 - 1986), "My gostly fader"
