1 Hail, bright Star of Ocean!
God's own Mother blest;
Ever sinless Virgin,
Gate of heav'nly rest.
2 Show thyself a mother;
May the Word divine,
Born for us thine Infant,
Hear our pray'rs thro' thine.
2 Break the captive's fetters,
Light on blindness pour;
All our ills expelling,
Ev'ry bliss implore.
4 Keep our life all spotless,
Make our way secure;
Till we find in Jesus,
Joy for evermore.
5 Through the highest heaven,
To th' Almighty Three,
Father, Son and Spirit,
One same glory be.
6 Hail, bright Star of Ocean,
God's own Mother best;
Ever sinless Virgin,
Gate of heav'nly rest.
