Virgin, Mother of God,
Let me be completely yours!
Yours in life and in death;
Yours in misfortune, fear, and distress;
Yours in the cross and bitter suffering;
Yours for time and eternity.
Virgin, Mother of God,
Let me be completely yours!
Mother! In you I hope and trust!
Mother! To you I cry and sigh!
Mother! You, the kindest, stand by me!
Mother! You, the mightiest,
protect me from suffering!
O Mother! Come, help me pray!
O Mother! Come, help me fight!
O Mother! Come, help me endure!
O Mother! Come, stay with me!
You can help me,
O mightiest one!
You want to help me,
O Kindest one!
You must help me,
O most faithful one!
You will help me,
O most merciful one!
Virgin, Mother of God!
O Mother of grace,
Fortress of Christians.
You, refuge of sinners!
Gate of salvation!
Hope of the earth,
Crown of heaven!
You, comfort of the troubled,
Their shield!
Who has ever called for your help in vain?
When have you ever forgotten a child's prayer?
I call out persistently in my suffering and in distress:
"Mary always helps - she helps at all times."
I will call with confidence in suffering and death:
"Mary always helps in every need."
Thus I believe, live, and die with this thought:
"Mary helps me ascend to heaven."
