O Mutter, Mutter meines Herren

Lasset alle Ketzer schwärmen

Maria Wurzel Davids

Seht! Wie der stolzen Schlangenhaupt

Wer Mariam recht will lieben

Was helfen mir weltliche Freuden

Alle die Verlangen tragen

Beglückter Edens Garten

Alle Welt ist nun bedranget

Heut muß jene Sonne weichen

Hier lieg ich in der Bahre

Erbarmet euch, ihr Freund

Tauet ihr Himmel

Thauet ihr Himmel

Schönste Jungfrau, Vater allen

Heut trat der Jacobs Stern

Laßt ab von euren Trauern

So sei es dann beschlossen

O Maria, hilff mir / Ich will treulich dir beistehen

Wer bist du doch mein Mensch

O du Zierde der Jungfrauen

Blitz, Hagel, Mordgetümmel

O Maria, treib von dannen

Du vielgeliebtes Vaterland

Ihr blumenreiche Felder

Hört ihr Christen und laßt euch sagen

O längſt erwünſchte Nacht

This work has been attributed to Werner since the title page of the single source contains a note “Werner”, added in pencil by later hand. However, the 1837 inventory of A-Ed does not list Werner as author, and the style of the work also suggests a different composer. Since the source also contains a second aria (written by a different copyist), and its org part is attributed to “Auth: Sign: | Reuter”, the author of the first aria may be one of the Reutters.
