Milde Moeder van de Redder
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the Latin
Milde Moeder van de Redder, Die de open poort des hemels blijft En de ster der zee, Kom te hulp het vallend volk, Dat poogt op te staan. Gij die tot verbazing der natuur Uw heilige Schepper hebt gebaard, Maagd tevoren en daarna, Uit de mond van Gabriel dat gezegende 'Wees gegroet' vernemend, Heb medelijden met de zondaars.
