1 Star of ocean fairest,
Mother, God who barest,
Virgin thou immortal,
Heaven’s blissful portal.
2 Ave thou receivest,
Gabriel’s word believest;
Change to peace and gladness
Eva’s name of sadness.
3 Loose the bonds of terror,
Lighten blinded error;
All our ills repressing,
Pray for every blessing.
4 Mother’s care displaying,
Offer Him thy praying,
Who when born our brother,
Chose thee for His mother.
5 Virgin, all excelling,
Gentle past our telling;
Pardoned sinners render
Gentle, chaste and tender.
6 In pure paths direct us;
On our way protect us;
Till, on Jesus gazing,
We shall join thy praising.
7 Father, Son eternal,
Holy Ghost supernal,
With one praise we bless Thee,
Three in One confess Thee.
