Gentle Star of Ocean.
Portal of the sky !
Ever Virgin Mother
Of the Lord most High!
Oh ! by Gabriel's Ave,
Uttered long ago,
Eva's name reversing,
Stablish peace below.
Break the captive's 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.
Through the highest heaven,
To thee Almighty Three,
Father, Son, and Spirit,
One same glory be.
