Wees gegroet, Koningin der hemelen

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the Latin

Wees gegroet, Koningin der hemelen,
Wees gegroet, Meesteres der engelen,
Heil u, wortel, heil u, ingang,
Waaruit 't licht der wereld voortkwam:
Wees verheugd, Maagd, mild en machtig,
Boven allen mooi en prachtig!
Heil u, gij zonder gebreken,
Wil voor ons toch Christus smeken.
