O loving God, Who art worthy of <our> love!

May You be pleased to forgive

all those who wish to chant Your names!

 

Whoever desires to sing this song often

can thereby increase his love

by honouring and knowing God.

 

May whoever is lacking in love

sing this song joyously,

and his love shall grow.

 

To you, O Mother of God, I present

this song, which is newly

created for the sake of your honour.
