Willkommen, du Gottes Sonne
Language: German (Deutsch)
Maria sang:
Willkommen, du Gottes Sonne,
Willkommen im Himmelsraum!
Hast freudig mich aufgewecket
Aus einem freudigen Traum.
Erschaust du meinen Geliebten,
O [schmeichl ihm]1 mit freundlichem Strahl,
Und sag ihm, ich ließ' ihn grüßen,
Ja grüßen viel tausend Mal.

Welcome, you sun of God
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Mary sang:
Welcome, you sun of God,
Welcome in the heavenly realm!
You have happily awakened me
From a joyful dream.
Should you see my beloved,
Oh caress him with a friendly beam,
Und convey to him my greetings,
Yes, greet him from me many thousands of times.
