Dich, Mutter Gottes, ruf' wir an, bitt' für uns, Maria! Tu' uns in Ängsten nicht verlan, Jesum, dein Sohn, der Not ermahn, die er um menschlich Geschlecht wollte han, bitt' für uns, Maria! Dass wir vollkommen werden gar, bitt für uns, Maria! Leib, Ehr' und Gut auf Erd' bewahr', dass wir in Zeit viel guter Jahr' dort leben mit der Engel Schar, bitt' für uns, Maria! Du bist der Brunn, der nicht verseicht, bitt' für uns, Maria! Dass uns der heilig Geist erleucht zu wahrer Reu und ganzer Beicht! Jesus, dein Sohn, dir nicht verzeicht, bitt' für uns, Maria!

O moeder Gods, wil ons verstaan, Bid voor ons, Maria! Laat ons in angsten niet vergaan, Laat uw zoon Jezus denken aan Wat hij voor mensen heeft doorstaan, Bid voor ons, Maria! Dat wij volkomen worden, klaar, Bid voor ons, Maria! Lijf, eer en goed op aard’ bewaar, Dat wij, goed levend, jaar op jaar, Straks leven met de eng’lenschaar, Bid voor ons, Maria! Gij zijt de bron die nooit raakt dicht, Bid voor ons, Maria! Dat ons de Heil’ge Geest verlicht Tot echt berouw en goede biecht! Jezus, uw Zoon, naar u zich richt, Bid voor ons, Maria!
