131b. Bright Queen of heaven

1 Bright Queen of heaven, Virgin most fair,
Mary, most gentle, list to our prayer;
Mother, protect us, Aid to us bring,
Sweetly enfold us, 'Neath shelt'ring wing.

Chorus:
2 Star of the ocean, Shedding soft light,
Solace in sorrow, And rest 'mid the night;
Send, in our slumbers, Peace from above,
Shine on 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, and rest evermore.
