Ave, Maris Stella.
Ave, Maris Stella.
.
Ave, Maris Stella,
Dei Mater alma,
Atque semper virgo,
Felix cœli porta.
.
Sumens illud Ave,
Gabrielis ore,
Funda nos in pace,
Mutans Evae nomem.
.
Solve vincula reis,
Profer lumen caecis,
Mala nostra pelle,
Bona cuncta posce.
.
Monstra te esse matrem,
Sumat per te precem,
Qui pro nobis natus,
Tulit esse tuus.
.
Virgo singularis,
Inter omnes mitis,
Nos culpis solutos,
Mite fac et castos.
.
Vitam praesta puram,
Iter para tutum,
Ut videntis Jesum,
Semper collaetemur.
.
Sit laus Deo Patri,
Summo Christo decus,
Spiritui Sancto,
Tribus honor unus. Amen.

HAIL, O Star of the ocean,
God's own Mother blest,
ever sinless Virgin,
gate of heav'nly rest.
.
Taking that sweet Ave,
which from Gabriel came,
peace confirm within us,
changing Eve's name.
.
Break the sinners' fetters,
make our blindness day,
Chase all evils from us,
for all blessings pray.
.
Show thyself a Mother,
may the Word divine
born for us thine Infant
hear our prayers through thine.
.
Virgin all excelling,
mildest of the mild,
free from guilt preserve us
meek and undefiled.
.
Keep our life all spotless,
make our way secure
till we find in Jesus,
joy for evermore.
.
Praise to God the Father,
honor to the Son,
in the Holy Spirit,
be the glory one. Amen.
