       1.
Sey, Mutter der Barmherzigkeit!
Sey, Königinn, gegrüßet!
Des Lebens Trost und Süssigkeit
Durch die uns Trost zufliesset.
Zu dir, o Mutter! rufen wir,
Mit Thränen seufzen wir zu dir.

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

Hail, Mother of mercy!

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

       1.
Hail, Mother of mercy!
Hail, Queen!
The comfort and sweetness of life
Through which comfort flows to us!
To Thee, oh Mother, we call,
With tears we sigh our prayers to Thee.

       2.
Oh, from the throne of Heaven
Turn Thy gracious face toward us!
Do not deny us Thy intervention
With Jesus, Thy Son.
After this misery show us Him,
Intercede with Him on our behalf!
