Hail thou star of ocean
Portal of the sky
Ever virgin Mother
Of the Lord most High
Oh! by Gabriels' Ave,
uttered long ago,
Eva's name reversing
Established peace below
Break the captives' fetters,
Light on blindness pour,
All our ills expelling,
Every bliss implore
Show yourself a Mother
Offer Him our sighs,
Who for us incarnate
Did not you despise
Virgin of all virgins
to your shelter take us,
Gentlest of the gentle
Chaste and gentle make us
Still as on we journey,
Help our weak endeavor,
Till with you and Jesus
We rejoice forever
through the highest heaven,
To the almighty Three
Father, Son and Spirit,
One same glory be.
Amen
