Richard Thompson - Remember O Thou Man lyrics

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 Adam's fall O thou man, O thou man! Remember Adam's fall From heaven to hell! Remember Adam's fall How we were condemned all To hell perpetual There for to dwell 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 O thou man, O thou man! The angels all did sing Praises to our glorious King And peace to man living With a good will!' The Shepherds amazed was O thou man, O thou man! The Shepherds amazed was To hear the angels sing The Shepherds amazed was How it should come to pa** That Christ our Messias Should be our King! To Bethlehem did they go O thou man, O thou man! The shepherds three; O thou man, O thou man! To Bethlehem did they go To see whether it were so Whether Christ were borne or no To set man free As the Angels before did say O thou man, O thou man! As the Angels before did say So it came to pa**; As the Angels before did say They found him wrapt in hay In a manger, where he lay So poor he was In Bethlehem he was born O thou man, O thou man! In Bethlehem he was born For mankind's sake; In Bethlehem he was born For us that were forlorn And therefore took no scorn Our sins to bear In a manger laid he was O thou Man, O thou Man In a manger laid he was At this time present In a manger laid he was Between an ox and an a** And all for our trespa** Therefore repent Give thanks to God always O thou man, O thou man! Give thanks to God always With heart most joyfully Give thanks to God always Upon this blessed day Let all men sing and say: 'Holy, holy!'
