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!

1.
Hail, Mother of mercy!
Hail, Queen!
The comfort and sweetness of life
Through which [life]1 flows to us!
To Thee, oh Mother, we call,
With tears we sigh [our prayers] to Thee.
2.
Oh, from the throne of Heaven
Turn Thy gracious face toward us!
Do not deny us Thy intervention
With Jesus, Thy Son.
After this misery show us Him,
Intercede with Him on our behalf!
3.
In all tribulation, fear, and misery!
Come to our aid in our sorrows:
Help us, comfort us, and plead with God
When we depart from here.
Secure victory for us in the last battle,
Oh, Mother of mercy!
