O Maria, strahlend hell
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O Maria, strahlend hell über Sonn',
über Mond, 
o du edler Gottesthron!
Deiner Schönheit wonniglich
freuet Erd' und Himmel sich;
Cherubim,
Seraphim,
alle Engel preisen dich.

O Maria, gnadenreich Frauenbild,
Mutter mild,
uns're Zuflucht, unser Schild!
Du bist uns're Mittlerin,
unser Trost und Helferin,
und vor Gott
uns in Not
mächtige Fürsprecherin.

O Maria, starkes Weib, wohlgemut,
Heldenblut,
aller Christen Schutz und Hut!
Streit' für uns zu Meer und Land,
schlag' den Feind mit starker Hand,
dass dein Nam'
wundersam
werd' der ganzen Welt bekannt.

O Maria, Morgenstern hell und rein,
schön und fein
über allen Sonnenschein!
Ach, wir wandeln in der Nacht,
unser banges Herz verzagt.
Mild und treui
steh' uns bei,
lass uns nicht aus deiner Acht!
