1.
Star of ocean, lead us;
God for mother claims thee,
Ever Virgin names thee;
Gate of heaven speed us.
2.
Ave thee saluting,
Gabriel went before us;
Peace do thou restore us,
Eva’s name refuting.
3.
Loose the bonds that chain us,
Darkened eyes enlighten,
Clouded prospects brighten,
Heavenly mercies gain us.
4.
For thy sons thou carest;
Offer Christ our praying
Still thy word obeying
Whom on earth thou barest.
5.
Purer, kinder maiden
God did never fashion;
Pureness and compassion
Grant to hearts sinladen.
6.
From that sin release us,
Shield us, heav’nward faring;
Heav’n that is but sharing
In thy joy with Jesus.
7.
Honor, praise and merit
To our God address we;
Three in One confess we,
Father, Son and Spirit.
