by Franz Seraph Kohlbrenner (1728 - 1783)

Sey, Mutter der Barmherzigkeit!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
       1.
Sey, Mutter der Barmherzigkeit!
Sey, Königinn, gegrüßet!
Des Lebens Trost und Sießigkeit
Durch die uns Leben fließet.
Zu dir, o Mutter! rufen wir,
Mit Thränen seufzen wir zu dir.

       2.
O wend dein gütig Angesicht
Auf uns vom Himmelsthrone!
Versag uns deinen Fürspruch nicht
Bey Jesu deinem Sohne!
Nach diesem Elend zeig uns ihn,
Bey ihm sey unsre Mittlerinn!

       3.
In aller Trübsal, Angst und Noth!
Komm uns zu Hülf im Leiden:
Hülf, tröste uns, und bitt' bey Gott
Wann wir von hinnen scheiden.
Erwirb uns Sieg im letzten Streit,
O Mutter der Barmherzigkeit!
