Original text and translations

German.png German text Der englische Gruß

Gegrüßet, Maria, du Mutter der Gnaden!
So sangen die Engel der Jungfrau Maria
In ihrem Gebete, darinnen sie rang.

Maria, du sollst einen Sohn empfangen,
Darnach tun Himmel und Erde verlangen,
Daß du die Mutter des Herren sollst sein.

O Engel, wie mag ich das erleben,
Ich habe mich noch keinem Manne ergeben
In dieser weiten und breiten Welt.

Wie Tau kommt über die Blumenmatten,
So soll dich der heilige Geist überschatten;
So sollt der Heiland geboren sein.

Maria die höret solches gerne,
Sie sprach: ich bin eine Magd des Herren,
Nach deinem Worte geschehe mir!

Die Engel sanken auf ihre Knie,
Sie sangen alle Maria, Maria,
Sie sangen Maria den Lobgesang!

English.png English translation The English Greeting

Hail, Mary, mother of grace!
Thus, sang the Angel to the maiden Mary
His prayers inside him swelled.

Maria, you have received a son,
Heaven and Earth command
That you are the Mother of God.

O Angel, in my experiences,
I have had no relations with a man
In this entire wide world.

As dew comes over the flowerbeds,
So is it that the Holy Spirit has overcome you;
So that our welfare should be born.

Mary hearing such gladly,
She spoke: I am the handmaid of God,
So your word shall happen to me.

The Angel sank to his knee,
He sang Mary, Mary,
He sang Mary’s praise!
