Original text and translations

German text O Mensch, bewein dein Sünde gross, darum Christus seins Vaters Schoss verliess und kam auf Erden. Von einer Jungfrau rein und zart für uns er hier geboren war: er wollt der Mittler werden. Den Toten er das Leben gab, und legt dabei all Krankheit ab! Bis sich die Zeit herdrange daß er für uns geopfert würd trug unser Sünd ein schwere Bürd wohl an dem Kreuze lange. Sebald Heyden

English translation O man, thy grievous sin bemoan, For which Christ left His Father's throne, From highest heaven descending. Of Virgin pure and undefiled He here was born, our Saviour mild, For sin to make atonement. The dead He raised to life again. The sick He freed from grief and pain. Until the time appointed That He for us should give His Blood, Should bear our sins' o'erwhelming load, The shameful Cross enduring. tr. Catherine Winkworth
