 (Sung text for setting by Anonymous)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Erhab'ne Mutter unsers Herrn,
Du Himmelspforte, Morgenstern,
Hilf deinem schwachen Volk, das fiel
Und von dem Fall aufstehen will.

Du hast geboren wunderbar
Den, der dein heil'ger Schöpfer war;
Du durftest auch als Mutter sein,
Was vor du warst: jungfräulich rein.

Dich hat einst Gabriel gegrüßt,
Daß du die Gnadenvolle bist;
Erwirb uns, Mutter! Gottes Huld
Für alle uns're Sündenschuld.
