by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Wir wandern über Berg und Thal
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wir wandern über Berg und Thal,
    O Maria!
Und grüßen dich viel tausendmal,
    O Maria!
Heil'ge Jungfrau, überall
Grüßen wir dich froh mit Sang und Schall,
    mit Sang und Schall.

Verleih uns deiner Gnaden Hort,
    O Maria!
Und segn' uns heut' und immerfort,
    O Maria!
Heil'ge Jungfrau, allezeit
Gieb uns armen Pilgern dein Geleit,
    ja dein Geleit!

Zu deinem Bilde wandern wir,
    O Maria! 
Inbrünstig flehen wir zu dir,
    O Maria! 
Heil'ge Jungfrau, früh und spat 
Zeig zum Himmel uns den rechten Pfad,
    den rechten Pfad!
