Profer lumen caecis,

Meerstern, dich wir grüßen

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Grieg)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Latin

Meerstern, dich wir grüßen,
güt’ge Mutter Gottes,
und von jeher Jungfrau,
sel’ge Himmelspforte.

 ... 

Lös der Sünder Ketten,
mach die Blinden sehend,
unser Leid vertreibe,
Segen uns erflehe.

 ... 

Schenk ein schuldlos Leben,
sichre unsre Wege,
dass wir, Jesus schauend,
stets mit dir uns freuen.

Lob sei Gott, dem Vater,
Christ, dem Höchsten, Ehre,
und dem Heil’gen Geiste
Lob und Preis den Dreien.
Amen.
