- Editor: Mick Swithinbank (submitted 2018-01-21). Score information: A4, 5 pages, 43 kB Copyright: CPDL
- Edition notes: Original pitch and note values. Three of the four voices are editorial, so this is partly a new composition, albeit in a style intended to resemble Layolle's, or at least similar repertoire of the same period.

Description: This is a motet from a collection probably published in Lyon in 1525 and which was devoted entirely to motets by Layolle, a resident of the city at the time. Unfortunately, only the tenor partbook has survived, which contains the information that O bone Jesu was scored for four voices.

O bone Jesu, salvator mundi, iustos conserva,
peccatores iustifica, et omnibus fidelibus defunctis miserere,
et propitius esto mihi miserrimo peccatori.

Kind Jesus, saviour of the world, save the just,
make the sinners righteous, and have mercy on all the faithful dead,
and look favourably upon me, a most miserable sinner.
