Hail, shining ocean Star

O be our guide, 

diffuse thy beams afar.

Hail, Mother of God, 

above all virgins blessed.

Hail, happy gate 

of heaven's eternal rest.


Refrain:

Hail, shining ocean Star

Hail, heavenly Queen

O, be our guide

To endless joys unseen.

O, be our guide

To endless joys unseen.


With Gabriel we repeat.

Thee, Queen of heaven 

from him we learn to greet.

Then give us peace 

which heaven alone can give,

And, dead through Eve, 

through Mary let us Live.


Refrain:

Hail, shining ocean Star

Hail, heavenly Queen

O, be our guide

To endless joys unseen.

O, be our guide

To endless joys unseen.
