Ave Stella Maris

Hail bright star of ocean, 

God's own Mother blest, 

Ever sinless Virgin, 

Gate of heavenly rest 

Taking that sweet Ave 

Which from Gabriel came, 

Peace confirm within us, 

Changing Eva's name. 

Break the captives' fetters, 

Light on blindness pour, 

All our ills expelling, 

Every bliss implore. 

Show thyself a Mother; 

May the Word Divine, 

Born for us thy Infant, 

Hear our prayers through thine 

Virgin all excelling, 

Mildest of the mild, 

Freed from guilt, preserve us, 

Pure and undefiled. 

Keep our life all spotless, 

Make our way secure, 

Till we find in Jesus 

Joy for evermore 

Through the highest heaven 

To the Almighty Three 

Father, Son, and Sprit 

One same glory be, 

Amen.
