Gegrüsset seistu by Georg Vogler — Lyrics
Gegrüsset seistu edelste Königin,
der Menschen und der Engelein,
ein Mutter der Barmhertzigkeit,
das Leben unser Hoffnung und Süssigkeit.
Wir elende Kinder Evae schreyen zu dir,
mit trawren weynen seufftzen wir,
in diesen elend' Jammerthal,
vergiesen wir unserr Thrän und zahl,

About Gegrüsset seistu
This beautiful German hymn is suitable for occasions honouring the Virgin Mary. It is set for SATB choir and expresses a heartfelt plea for intercession. The text addresses Mary as Queen, Mother of Mercy, and the source of hope, lamenting humanity's suffering and crying out for her maternal care. The choir would convey the earnestness of the supplication, asking for Mary's merciful gaze and motherly heart to be turned towards them. The hymn culminates in a request to be shown Jesus, her blessed fruit, invoking her as a kind, mild maiden and most blessed Mary.
