Viva Maria
 (Sung text for setting by M. Thys)
 See original
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Ik voele alsdat mijn tong herleeft, viva,
en hoe mijn hert weêr blijdschap heeft, viva;
het is Maria, zuivere Maagd,
die boven al mij wel behaagt:
Ave Maria!

 ... 

Maria's kinderen, altemaal, viva,
wij doen gelijk de nachtegaal, viva:
van 's morgens vroeg, al voor den dag,
herhaalt hij voor die 't hooren mag:
Viva Maria!

Weest willekom, Gods Engel zoet, viva,
die onze Moeder hebt gegroet, viva,
en die ons daaglijks, menigmaal,
doet zeggen, in uwe eigen taal:
Ave Maria!

 ...
