Die Verkündigung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In Demut neige ich mich vor der Botschaft die mir ward 
Wie fass ich das Übermass der Gnade 
die mir der Herr bezeigt 
als er mir seinen Engel sandte 
Er sprach zu mir geheimnisvolle Worte 
deren Sinn ich ahne nicht begreife 
Was frommt das Wissen auch mir armen Magd! 
Der Herr ist mächtig 
und unerforschlich bleiben seine Wege 
Was er beschlossen soll mit mir gescheh'n
