Remember, O Thou Man

Remember O thou man, O thou man, O thou man,
Remember O thou man thy time is spent.
Remember O thou man how thou cams't to Me then
And I did what I can, Therefore repent.

Remember God's goodness, O thou man, O thou man,
Remember God's goodness and promise made,
Remember God's goodness, how His only Son He sent,
Our sins for to redress, be not afraid.

The angels all did sing, O thou man, O thou man
The angels all did sing on Sion hill,
The angels all did sing praises to our heav 'nly King,
And peace to man living with Christ, our good will.

To Bethlem did they go, O thou man, O thou man
To Bethlem did they go, these three to see,
To Bethlem did they go to see whether it were so
Wheth'r Christ was born or no, to set us free.

In Bethlem was He born O thou man, O thou man,
In Bethlem was He born for mankind here
In Bethlem was He born for us that were forlorn
And therefore took no scorn our sins to bear.

Give thanks to God always, O thou man, O thou man,
Give thanks to God always with hearts most joyfully
Give thanks to God always upon this blessed day
Let all men sing and say, Holy, Holy.

Remember O thou man, O thou man, O thou man,
Remember O thou man thy time is spent.
Remember O thou man how thou art dead and gone
And I did what I can, Therefore repent.
