Ave Maria! Jungfrau mild,
Erhöre einer Jungfrau Flehen,
Aus diesem Felsen starr und wild
Soll mein Gebet zu dir hinwehen.
Wir schlafen sicher bis zum Morgen,
Ob Menschen noch so grausam sind.
O Jungfrau, sieh der Jungfrau Sorgen,
O Mutter, hör ein bittend Kind!
Ave Maria!

Ave Maria! Milde Maagd,
Verhoor ook van een maagd de bede,
Nu zij bij u haar rampspoed klaagt,
Omringd door rotsen en duisterheden.
Wij slapen veilig tot de morgen,
Hoe wreed ook soms de mensen zijn.
O Maagd, verlicht mijn meisjeszorgen,
O Moeder, wil mijn toevlucht zijn!
Ave Maria!
