This sheet is from an antiphonary written in four-line music in black and red ink with two large initials. The music is from the Office of the Dead and translates in part as:

I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:
And every one that liveth and believeth in me shall not die for ever.
