Singers call Mary, the mother of Jesus, with many attributes and request her help in the misery of the world.

The 2013 common German hymnal Gotteslob has a version in six stanzas as GL 536, with a melody first published in Mainz in 1712.

For this church, Seidenbusch published a devotional collection in 1687, titled Marianischer Schnee-Berg, oder Beschreibung der Andacht bey Unser Lieben Frawen zum Schnee auff dem Berg zu Auffhausen … Sambt Neun und zwantzig Bitt- und Lob-Gesänglein (Marian snow mountain, or description of the devotion of Our Dear Lady of the Snow on the mountain of Aufhaussen, with 29 little songs of prayer and praise).

The hymn is titled "Ein schönes Salve Regina Durch welches die wochentliche Andacht zu Auffhausen mit den Engelein beschlossen wird" (A beautiful Salve Regina by which the weekly devotion in Aufhausen with the angels is closed)".

It was taken by emigrants to the U.S., with an English text, Hail, Holy Queen, enthroned above,[3] which first appeared in The Roman Missal in 1884.
