Komm Mainz, komm Bayrn, komm Österreich
komm Aquitan, komm ganz Frankreich.
Refrain:
 Ruft alle an St. Emmeran,
 sein Vorbitt uns geleit
 zu der ewigen Seligkeit.

Zu Piktavis, da du geborn,
zum Bischoff erstlich wirst erkorn.

Dein Eifer aber da nicht bleibt,
von dann'gen Regensburg dich treibt.

Bayern dein ander Bistum war,
manch Seel errettst aus Not und G'fahr.

Dein Tod solchs g'nug bezeugen tut,
zahlst fremde Schuld mit deinem Blut.

Der wöll ihm durch sein Mart'r und Pein
all Christenland befohlen sein.
