Maria, die Demüthige
 (Sung text for setting by Anonymous)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Zu wandeln stets nach Gottes Willen
Und unter seinem Angesicht,
Und treulich sein Gesetz erfüllen,
War dir, Maria! erste Pflicht.
Er sandte Kummer oder Freude,
So war dein Herz nur Ihm geweiht;
Du giengest nie von seiner Seite
Und priesest Ihn voll Dankbarkeit.

  O hilf uns auch so gläubig leben,
Uns unserm Vater innig weih'n;
Hilf uns, so fromm, so gottergeben,
So dankbar gegen Ihn zu seyn;
Daß wir in heitern Glückestagen
Nie weg von seinen Wegen geh'n;
Und in dem Unglück ohne Zagen
Auf Ihn, als unsern Vater, seh'n.
