Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE CFCFCECE GHGHCICE CJKJCDLE

Our Lord Who did the Ox commandA
To kneel to Judah's KingB
He binds His frost upon the landA
To ripen it for SpringB
To ripen it for Spring good sirsC
According to His WordD
Which well must be as ye can seeC
And who shall judge the LordE
-
When we poor fenmen skate the iceC
Or shiver on the woldF
We hear the cry of a single treeC
That breaks her heart in the coldF
That breaks her heart in the cold good sirsC
And rendeth by the boardE
Which well must be as ye can seeC
And who shall judge the LordE
-
Her wood is crazed and little worthG
Excepting as to burnH
That we may warm and make our mirthG
Until the Spring returnH
Until the Spring return good sirsC
When Christians walk abroadI
When well must be as ye can seeC
And who shall judge the LordE
-
God bless the master of this houseC
And all who sleep thereinJ
And guard the fens from pirate folkK
And keep us all from sinJ
To walk in honesty good sirsC
Of thought and deed ad wordD
Which shall befriend our latter endL
And who shall judge the LordE
