Hail thou star of ocean,
portal of the sky
Ever virgin Mother of the Lord Most High
Oh! by Gabriel’s Aye 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.
