Original text and translations

Dutch text

O Lam van God, onschuldig
geslacht aan 't kruis der schande,
te allen tijd geduldig
bereid ten offerande,
Gij hebt de schuld gedragen,
nu is de dood verslagen.
Erbarm U onzer, o Jezus.
 

German text

O Lamm gottes, unschuldig
Am Stamm des Kreuzes geschlachtet,
Allzeit funden geduldig,
Wiewohl du warest verachtet;
All Sünd hast du getragen,
Sonst müßten wir verzagen.
Erbarm dich unser, o Jesu.
 

English translation

O Lamb of God, most stainless!
Who on the Cross didst languish,
Patient through all Thy sorrows.
Though mocked amid Thine anguish;
Our sins Thou bearest for us,
Else had despair reigned o'er us:
Have mercy upon us, O Jesu!
tr. Catherine Winkworth
