Hail bright star of ocean,
Taking that sweet Ave
Break the captives' fetters,
Show thyself a Mother;
Virgin all excelling,
Keep our life all spotless,
Through the highest heaven
Amen
God's own Mother blest,
Ever sinless Virgin,
Gate of heavenly rest
Which from Gabriel came,
Peace confirm within us,
Changing Eva's name.
Light on blindness pour,
All our ills expelling,
Every bliss implore.
May the Word Divine,
Born for us thy Infant,
Hear our prayers through thine
Mildest of the mild,
Freed from guilt, preserve us,
Pure and undefiled.
Make our way secure,
Till we find in Jesus
Joy for evermore
To the Almighty Three
Father, Son, and Sprit
One same glory be,
