Text marked as lyrics

O man thy grievous sin bemoan for which Christ left his Father's throne, from highest heav'n descending. Of virgin pure and undefiled he here was born, our saviour mild for sin to make atonement. The dead he raised to life again, the sick he freed from grief and pain until the time appointed that he for us should give his blood, should bear our sins' o'erwhelming load, the shameful cross enduring.
