1. 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.
2. The Angels all did sing, O thou man, O thou man, The Angels all did sing, Upon the hill: The Angels all did sing, Praise to our Heav’nly King, And peace to man living, With a good will.
3. To Bethlem did they go, O thou man, O thou man, To Bethlem did they go, The shepherds three: To Bethlem did they go, To see where it were so, If Christ were born or no To set men free.
4. In Bethlem He was born, O thou man, O thou man, In Bethlem He was born, For mankind’s sake: In Bethlem He was born For us that were forlorn, And therefore took no scorn, Our flesh to take.
5. Give thanks to God alway, O thou man, O thou man, Give thanks to God alway, Most joyfully: Give thanks to God alway For this our happy day, Let all men sing and say, Holy, holy.
