Maria Himmelsfreud,
Dich will in Ewigkeit
Demüthig lieben;
O süße Mutter mein,
Mir tief in's Herz hinein
Bist du geschrieben.

Niemand vergleicht sich dir.
Der Kreaturen Zier
Bist du vor allen;
Du hast von Anbeginn
Durch deinen Himmelssinn
Dem Herrn gefallen.

Du schaust so lieberfüllt,
So süß und muttermild,
Auf meine Seele;
In schnellem Liebeslauf
Zu dir, zu dir hinauf
Eilt meine Seele.

O liebste Mutter mein,
Wann werd' ich bei dir sein,
Wann werd' ich sterben!
In meiner Sterbenszeit
Hilf mir Barmherzigkeit
Bei Gott erwerben.
