Hail, queen of heav’n, the ocean star,\nGuide of the wand’rer here below:\nThrown on life’s surge, we claim thy careSave us from peril and from woe.\nMother of Christ, star of the sea,\nPray for the wanderer, pray for me.\n2. O gentle, chaste, and spotless maid,\nWe sinners make our prayers through thee;\nRemind thy Son that he has paid\nThe price of our iniquity.\nVirgin most pure, star of the sea,\nPray for the sinner, pray for me.\n3. Sojourners in this vale of tears,\nTo thee, blest advocate, we cry;\nPity our sorrow, calm our fears,\nAnd soothe with hope our misery.\nRefuge in grief, star of the sea,\nPray for the mourner, pray for me.\n4. And while to him who reigns above,\nIn Godhead one, in persons three,\nThe source of life, of grace, of love,\nHomage we pay on bended knee;\nDo thou, bright Queen, star of the sea,\nPray for thy children, pray for me.
