131a. Bright Queen of heaven

1 Bright Queen of heav'n, Virgin most fair,
Mary, most gentle, list to our prayer,
List to our pray'r.
Mother, protect us, aid to us bring,
Sweetly enfold us, 'neath thy shelt'ring wing.

2 Star of the Ocean, shedding soft light,
Solace in sorrow, rest 'mid the night,
Rest 'mid the night;
Send in our slumbers peace from above;
Shine on us ever, bright Star of Love.

3 Tho; night be lonely why should we fear,
While thy soft gleaming shineth so near,
Leading us gently 'mid darkling gloom,
Beck'ning us onwards to our true home.

4 Soon may the morrow of bright, endless day
Chase the drear visions of dark night away;
Waft our lone spirits to Heaven's bright shore,
Where we may love thee, and rest evermore.
