Reiner dan het manelicht Schijnt er op uw aangezicht Wederschijn der hemelzon O Maria liever stralend, O Maria die per pralend Dan ooit sterre pralen kon. Rijker dan de dageraad Prijkt er op uw maagdgewaad Parelglans en zonnevonk O Maria blijder gloeiend O Maria hooger klimmend Dan er ooit een zonne blonk. Schooner dan de middaggloed Stroomt de breede stralenvloed Van uw blanke maagdehand O Maria blijder gloeiend O Maria rijker sproeiend Dan de volle zonnebrand. Blanker dan de hemeltrans Glanst de stillen stralenkrans Van uw hoofd tot aan uw voet O Maria blijder gloeiend O Maria alles vullend Met uw rijken gratie vloed.
