HAIL QUEEN OF HEAVEN

  1. Hail, Queen of Heav’n the ocean star,
    Guide of the wand’rer here below:
    Thrown on life’s surge, we claim your care,
    Save us from peril and from woe.
    Mother of Christ, star of the sea,
    Pray for the wanderer, pray for me.
  2. O gentle, chaste, and spotless Maid,
    We sinners make our prayers through you,
    Remind your Son that he has paid,
    The price of our iniquity.
    Virgin most pure, star of the sea,
    Pray for the sinner, pray for me.
  3. Sojourners in this world of tears,
    To you, blest advocate, we cry;
    Pity our sorrows, calm our fears,
    And soothe with hope our misery:
    Refuge in grief, star of the sea,
    Pray for the mourner, pray for me.
  4. And while to him who reigns above,
    In Godhead One, in Persons Three,
    The source of life, of grace, of love,
    Homage we pay on bended knee;
    Do you, bright Queen, star of the sea,
    Pray for your children, pray for me.
