O Mensch, bewein' dein' Sünde gross,
darum Christus sein's Vaters Schooss
äussert und kam auf Erden.
Von einer Jungfrau rein und zart
für uns er hier geboren ward,
er wollt' der Mittler werden.
Den Todten er das Leben gabund legt' da
bei all' Krankheit ab,
bis sich die Zeit her drange,
dass er für uns gekopfert würd',
trug uns'rer Sünden schwere Bürd'
wohl an dem Kreuze lange.
O World, bewail thy grievous fall,
For which Christ left His Father's hall
And came to earth from heaven.
He of a virgin maiden pure
Was born, of man the Savior sure,
And came earth's ills to leaven.
The dead He raised again to life,
The sick He loosed from pain and strife,
Until the time appointed
That He for us should shed His blood
And take on Him our sin's dark load,
Stretched on the Cross accursed.
--Tr. C. S. Terry
