1. Hail thou star of ocean,

Portal of the sky;

Ever Virgin Mother

Of the Lord most high.

Oh! By Gabriel’s Ave,

Utter’d long ago,

Eva’s name reversing,

Stablish peace below.

2. Break the captive’s fetter:

Light on blindness pour;

All our ills expelling,

Every bliss implore.

Show thyself a mother;

Offer him our sighs,

Who for us incarnate

Did not thee despise.

3. Virgin of all virgins,

To thy shelter take us;

Gentlest of the gentle,

Chaste and gentle make us.

Still, as on we journey.

Help our weak endeavour;

Till with thee and Jesus

We rejoice for ever.

4. Through the highest heaven,

To the almighty Three, Father,

Son and Spirit,

Once same glory be.
