My translation (FWIW):

Would you kindly incline to the virgin, to the child who begs for the father.

Scott's original makes the point more precisely:

Hear for a maid a maiden's prayer;
And for a father bear a child!

The translator Adam Storck did not exactly do a splendid job; had he only known that he was breaking the tongues of singers worldwide and for centuries (particularly of those who wished to convey the meaning to a German-speaking audience - pretty hopeless)!

It is of course not practical to sing the original with Schubert's tune. Singable translations exist, but Scott's ghost is daunting.
