Auf Brüder, laßt uns segnen Die liebe, gute Frau, Die hohe, die holde, die herrliche Frau! Einer. Was wir dem Kaiser geben, Das sei auch Ihr geweiht! Wir weih'n Ihr Gut und Leben Voll Freud' und Frömmigkeit! Alle. Auf Brüder, laßt uns segnen Die liebe, gute Frau, Die hohe, die holde, die herrliche Frau! Einer. Sie steh' auf Östreichs Throne Beglückend und beglückt, Von Engeln sei die Krone Mit Rosen Ihr geschmückt! Alle. Auf Brüder, laßt uns segnen Die liebe, gute Frau, Die hohe, die holde, die herrliche Frau! Einer. Wie immer für uns Kinder Der Kaiser Vater war, So bleib' such nicht minder Uns Mutter immerdar! Alle.
