O Vírgen que á Dios pariste, y nos diste á todos tan gran victoria; tórname alegre de triste, pues podiste tornar nuestra pena en gloria. Señora, á tí me convierte de tal suerte, que destruyendo mi mal yo nada tema la muerte, y pueda verte en tu trono angelical. Pues no manchada naciste, y mereciste alcanzar tan gran memoria; torname alegre de triste, pues podiste tornar nuestra pena en gloria.

Die du Gott gebarst, du Reine, Und alleine Uns gelöst aus unsern Ketten, Mach mich fröhlich, der ich weine, Denn nur deine Huld und Gnade mag uns retten. Herrin, ganz zu dir mich wende, Daß sich ende Diese Qual und dieses Grauen, Daß der Tod mich furchtlos fände, Und nicht blende Mich das Licht der Himmelsauen. Weil du unbefleckt geboren, Auserkoren Zu des ew'gen Ruhmes Stätten Wie mich Leiden auch um floren, Unverloren Bin ich doch, willst du mich retten.
