Language: German (Deutsch) after the Multiple Languages

Von einer, die so hell und rein,  
    Leitstern überm Meere,
lichter als des Tages Schein,
    Gottesmutter hehre:
Ich ruf zu Dir, du sorgst für mich,  
bei deinem Sohne bitt für mich, 
    Du Fromme, 
Dass ich dir darf nahen mich,
    zu Maria komme.

 ... 

Mutter, aus dir alles sprosst, 
    Rose dornenlos gepriesen, 
gebarst uns Jesus, aller Trost, 
    Gottes Gnade dir erwiesen: 
Dir gebührt allein der Preis, 
Königin des Paradeis, 
    Erkoren: 
Milde Magd, die Gott
    Geboren.
