Jungfrau du, der Welt Verlangen,
Rein von aller Schuld empfangen,
Mutter Jesu, sei gegrüßt!
Hymnen sollen dir erschallen,
Die vor allen Gott gefallen
O Maria, sei gegrüßt.

Höre unser kindlich Flehen
Droben in des Himmels Höhen,
Uns're Mutter, sei gegrüßt!
Heil'ge Jungfrau, wie im Leben,
So auch steh' uns bei im Sterben,
O Maria, sei gegrüßt.

Virgin Thou, the aspiration of the world

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Virgin Thou, the aspiration of the world,
Conceived free of all fault,
Mother of Jesus, we hail Thee!
Hymns shall ring out for Thee
Who pleased God before all others,
Oh Mary, we hail Thee!

Hear our childlike pleading
Up in the heights of Heaven,
Our Mother, we hail Thee!
Holy Virgin, as in life
Stand by us also in death,
Oh Mary, we hail Thee!
