Original text and translations

German text Der englische Gruß 1. Gegrüßet, Maria, du Mutter der Gnaden! So sangen die Engel der Jungfrau Maria In ihrem Gebete, darinnen sie rang. 2. Maria, du sollst einen Sohn empfangen, Darnach tun Himmel und Erde verlangen, Daß du die Mutter des Herren sollst sein. 3. O Engel, wie mag ich das erleben, Ich habe mich noch keinem Manne ergeben In dieser weiten und breiten Welt. 4. Wie Tau kommt über die Blumenmatten, So soll dich der heilige Geist überschatten; So sollt der Heiland geboren sein. 5. Maria, die höret solches gerne, Sie sprach: ich bin eine Magd des Herren, Nach deinem Worte geschehe mir! 6. Die Engel sanken auf ihre Knie, Sie sangen alle Maria, Maria, Sie sangen Maria den Lobgesang!

English translation The Angelic Salutation 1. Hail, Mary, mother of grace! Thus sang the angels to the virgin Mary As she struggled in prayer. 2. Mary, you shall conceive a son. Heaven and Earth desire For you to be the Mother of the Lord. 3. O angels, how may I experience this? I have given myself to no man In this entire wide world. 4. As dew comes over the flowerbeds, So is it that the Holy Spirit shall overcome you; So shall the savior be born. 5. Mary heard such things gladly, She spoke: I am the handmaid of the Lord, And it shall happen to me according to your word. 6. The angels sank to their knees, They all sang Mary, Mary, They sang Mary’s song of praise!
