Ave Maris Stella

Ave Maris Stella




Hail thou star of ocean
Portal of the sky,
Ever virgin Mother,
Of the Lord Most High.

O! by Gabriel's Ave,
Uttered long ago,
Eva's name reversing,
Established peace below.

Break the captives' 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.

Still, as on we journey,
Help our weak endeavor,
Till with thee and Jesus
We rejoice forever.


Through the highest heaven,
To the almighty Three
Father, Son, and Spirit,
One same glory be. Amen.
