	Story Behind the Song The third in a series of pieces from Bach's Little Organ Book (or Liturgical Year) that seemed appropriate for a chamber ensemble. Lyrics GERMAN: 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 ENGLISH: 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)
