1 Hail, O Star that pointest
towards the port of heaven,
thou to whom as maiden
God for Son was given.
2 When the salutation
Gabriel had spoken,
peace was shed upon us,
Eva’s bonds were broken.
3 Bound by Satan’s fetters,
health and vision needing,
God will aid and light us
at thy gentle pleading.
4 Jesu’s tender mother,
make thy supplication
unto him who chose thee
at his incarnation;
5 that, O matchless maiden,
passing meek and lowly,
thy dear Son may make us
blameless, chaste and holy.
6 So, as now we journey,
aid our weak endeavour,
till we gaze on Jesus,
and rejoice for ever.
7 Father, Son and Spirit,
Three in One confessing,
give we equal glory,
equal praise and blessing.
