Der Engel zu Maria kommt

Author: Barthold Helder
Published in 3 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Der Engel zu Maria kömmt,
und ihr die fröhlich' Botschaft bringt:
sie soll empfahen und gebar'n
Jesum den wahren Gott und Herrn.

2 Maria des verwundert sich,
der Engel giebt ihr den Bericht,
das solch's in ihr der Heilig' Geist
verrichten werd' auf sonder Weis'.

3 Herr Jesu, der Du uns zu gut
hast angenommen Fleisch und Blut,
ach hilf! daß wir theilhaftig sein
der theuren großen Wohlthat Dein.

4 Errett' uns von Sünd, Höll' und Tod,
erhalt' uns fest in aller Noth:
Hilf durch die zarte Menschheit Dein,
daß wir mög'n ewig bei Dir sein.
