If thou from here our wake has passed, To Whinny Moor thou com'st at last; If ever thou gavest hosen and shoen, Then sit ye down and put them on; If hosen and shoon thou ne'er gav'st nane The Whinny will prick thee to the bare bane; From Brig o' Dread when thou may'st pass, To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last; If ever thou gavest meat or drink, The fire will never make thee shrink; If meat or drink thou ne'er gav'st nane, The fire will burn thee to the bare bane; This ae nighte, this ae nighte, Every nighte and alle, Fire and fleet and candle-lighte, And Christe receive thy saule. web: https://marianconsort.co.uk fb:   / marianconsort   twitter:   / marianconsort   insta:   / marianconsort   Filmed at St Ethelburga's, Bishopsgate, London Producer - Jacob Ewens Engineer - Tom Mungall Camera Operators - Caitlin Pittol-Neville, Oliver Hagen Assistant Engineer - Alex McArthur https://tommungall.co.uk
