Remember Adam's Fall
Language: English
Remember Adam’s fall, O thou man, Remember Adam’s fall from Heav’n to hell. Remember Adam’s fall, How he hath condemned all in hell perpetual Therefor to dwell. Remember God’s goodness, O thou man. Remember God’s goodness, His promise made. Remember God’s goodness; He sent His Son sinless our ills for to redress, Our hearts to aid. In Bethlehem He was born, O thou man, In Bethlehem He was born for mankind’s sake. In Bethlehem He was born, Our Saviour did not scorn Our faults to take. Give thanks to God alway, O thou man. Give thanks to God alway with heartfelt joy. Give thanks to God alway on this our joyful day: Let all men sing and say Holy, Holy!
