Hail Thou Star Of The Ocean

Hail thou star of ocean Portal of the sky
Ever virgin Mother Of the Lord Most High
O! by Gabriel's Ave 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 thyself a Mother, Offer Him our sighs,
Who for us incarnate Did not thee despise
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 endeavor,
Till with thee and Jesus We rejoice forever
Through the highest heaven, To the almighty Three
Father, Son, and Spirit, One same glory be.
Amen.
