Representative Text

1 Through the world thy children raise
Their prayers, and still we see,
Calm are the nights and bright the days
Of those who trust in thee.

Chorus:
Star of the Sea, we kneel and pray,
When tempests raise their voice,
Star of the Sea, the haven reached,
We call thee, we call thee and rejoice:
Star of the Sea, Star of the Sea.

2 Queen of heav'n! when we are sad,
Best solace of our pains,
It tells us though on earth we toil,
Our Mother lives and reigns. [Chorus]
