Chorale Text
Verses 1. and 2.
O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig,
am Stamm des Kreuzes geschlachtet,
Allzeit erfund'n geduldig,
Wie wohl du warest verachtet;
All Sünd hast du getragen,
sonst müssten wir verzagen.
Erbarm dich unser, o Jesu!

Verse 3.
Gib uns deinen Frieden o Jesu!
--Nicolaus Rostock, 1531

Verses 1. and 2.
O Lamb of God all holy,
Who on the Cross didst sufer,
And patient still and lowly,
Thyself to scorn didst offer:
Our sins by Thee were taken,
Or hope had us forsaken:
Have mercy upon us, o Jesu.

Verse 3.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesu.
--Arthur Tozer Russell (1806-1874)
