 (Sung text for setting by C. Sinding)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wunderschön Prächtige,
Große und Mächtige,
Liebreich holdselige, himmlische Frau,
Welcher auf ewiglich,
Kindlich verbinde mich,
Ja mit Leib und Seel gänzlich vertrau.
Billig mein Leben,
Alles beyneben,
Alles, ja alles, was immer ich bin,
Geb ich mit Freuden, Maria, dir hin.
