O Maria, sei gegrüßt!1 Die du voller Gnade bist,1 Sei gegrüßt, du höchste Zier, Gott der Herr ist selbst mit dir.2 Du bist hoch gebenedeit Vor den Weibern aller Zeit, Und gebenedeiet ist, Deine Frucht, Herr Jesus Christ. [Keusche]3 Mutter unsers Herrn,1 Deine Fürbitt' wir begehr'n,1 Hilf uns jetzt und allezeit, Sonderlich im Todesstreit.2 Sieh, wir Menschen allzugleich Seufzen nach dem Himmelreich, O Maria, steh uns bei, Daß dein Kind uns Gnad verleih! Ach befiehl uns deinem Sohn, Daß er unsrer Sünd verschon', Durch sein heilges Kreuz und Leid Führ' uns in die Seligkeit!
M. Reger sets stanzas 1, 3
