Sey, Mutter der Barmherzigkeit!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
       1.
Sey, Mutter der Barmherzigkeit!
Sey, Königinn, gegrüßet!
Des Lebens Trost und [Sießigkeit]1
Durch die uns [Leben fließet]2.
Zu dir, o Mutter! rufen wir,
Mit Thränen seufzen wir zu dir.

       2.
O wend dein gütig Angesicht
Auf uns vom Himmelsthrone!
Versag uns [deinen Fürspruch]3 nicht
Bey Jesu deinem Sohne!
Nach diesem Elend zeig uns ihn,
Bey ihm sey unsre Mittlerinn!

       3.
In aller Trübsal, Angst und Noth!
Komm uns zu Hülf im Leiden:
Hülf, tröste uns, und bitt' bey Gott
Wann wir von hinnen scheiden.
Erwirb uns Sieg im letzten Streit,
O Mutter der Barmherzigkeit!
