Ave Maris Stella.
HAIL thou resplendent star,
Which shinest o'er the main,
Blest mother of our God,
And ever virgin Queen.
Hail happy gate of bliss.
Greeted by Gabriel's tongue,
Negociate our peace,
And cancel Eva's wrong.
Loosen the sinner's bands;
All evils drive away:
Bring light unto the blind,
And for all graces pray.
Exert the mother's care,
And us thy children own;
To him convey our prayer,
Who chose to be thy son.
O pure, O spotless Maid,
Whose meekness all excell'd,
O make us chaste and mild,
And all our passions quell.
Preserve our lives unstain'd,
And guard us in our way;
Until we come with thee,
To joys that ne'er decay.
Praise to the Father be,
With Christ, his only Son,
And to the Holy Ghost,
Thrice blessed three in one. Amen.
V. Vouchsafe that I may praise thee, O blessed Virgin.
R. Give me strength against thy enemies.
Let us pray.
GRANT, we beseech thee, O Lord God, that we thy servants may be blessed with continual health of soul and body: And that by the glorious intercession of blessed Mary, ever Virgin, we may both be delivered from present sorrows, and be brought to eternal joys. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
