O Mensch, bewein’ dein Sünde groß
A Meditation on Christ’s Sacrifice for our Sins
O Man, Bemoan thy Grievous Sins, Bach BWV 622
English Translation:
O Man, bemoan thy grievous sins
For which Christ left His Father’s
Bosom and came down to earth
And was born for us of a pure
And tender Virgin as He wished
To become our Mediator. He raised
The dead to life, healed the sick
Until the time appointed for Him
To be sacrificed for us, when He
Bore the heavy burden of our sins
On the Cross.
Performed by Ana Elias, church of “O.-L.-Vrouw-o/d-Dijle”, Mechelen (Belgium)
