О, Lilie rein, Maria du Voll Gnadenschein Und Friedensruh'! O Rose roth, Die Duft umfließt, In Noth und Tod Sei mir gegrüßt! In Noth und Tod Sei du mein Stern! Wie schwank mein Boot, Dir folg' ich gern. Trotz Flutgebraus Und Sturmesweh'n, In's Vaterhaus Werd' ein ich geh'n! O Lilie rein, Maria du, O Mutter mein, Gib mir die Ruh'!

Oh lily pure, Mary, Thou Full of the radiance of mercy And peaceful rest! Oh red rose, Enveloped by scent, In misery and death Be hailed! In misery and death Be Thou my star! How unstable is my barque, I follow Thee gladly. Despite raging waters And the raging of the storm, I shall enter The Father’s house. Oh lily pure, Mary, Thou Oh Mother of mine, Give me rest!
