Star of ocean fair­est,
Mother, God who bar­est,
Virgin thou im­mor­tal,
Heaven’s bliss­ful por­tal.

Ave thou re­ceiv­est,
Gabriel’s word be­liev­est;
Change to peace and glad­ness
Eva’s name of sad­ness.

Loose the bonds of ter­ror,
Lighten blind­ed er­ror;
All our ills re­press­ing,
Pray for ev­ery bless­ing.

Mother’s care dis­play­ing,
Offer Him thy pray­ing,
Who when born our bro­ther,
Chose thee for His mo­ther.

Virgin, all ex­cell­ing,
Gentle past our tell­ing;
Pardoned sin­ners ren­der
Gentle, chaste and ten­der.

In pure paths di­rect us;
On our way pro­tect us;
Till, on Je­sus gazing,
We shall join thy prais­ing.

Father, Son eter­nal,
Holy Ghost su­per­nal,
With one praise we bless Thee,
Three in One con­fess Thee.
