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!
Remember Adam's fall,
O thou man, O thou man!
Remember Adam's fall
From heaven to hell!
Remember Adam's fall,
How we were condemnèd all,
In hell perpetual,
There for to dwell.
Remember God's goodness,
O thou man, O thou man!
Remember God's goodness,
And his promise made!
Remember God's goodness;
How he sent his Son, doubtless,
Our sins for to redress:
Be not afraid!
In Bethlehem he was born,
O thou man, O thou man!
In Bethlehem he was born,
For mankind dear;
In Bethlehem he was born,
For us that were forlorn,
And therefore took no scorn
Our sins to bear.
