"Stella Maris" lyrics

[Latin:]

Ave maris stella
Dei Mater alma
Atque semper virgo
Felix caeli porta

Sumens illud ave
Gabrielis ore
Funda nos in pace
Mutans Evae nomen

Solve vincla reis
Profer lumen caecis
Mala nostra pelle
Bona cuncta posce

Monstra te esse matrem
Sumat per te preces
Qui pro nobis natus
Tulit esse tuus

Virgo singularis
Inter omnes mitis
Nos culpis solutos
Mites fac et castos

Vitam praesta puram
Iter para tutum
Ut videntes Jesum
Semper collaetemur

Sit laus Deo Patri
Summo Christo decus
Spiritui sancto
Tribus honor unus
Amen

[English translation:]

Hail, Star of the sea
Great Mother of God
And always a Virgin
Joyous gate of Heaven

By welcoming that "Hail"
From Gabriel's mouth
Grant us peace
Changing Eve's fame

Undo wicked people's bad deeds
Give light to the blind
Drive away our pains
Give us every good

Show Thyself to be a Mother
Let this prayer be welcomed through Thee
By He who was born for us
And made Himself Thy Son

Holiest Virgin unique
Among the humblest
Forgive our trespasses
And make us humble and chaste

Give us a pure life
Guard our paths
Let us see Jesus
Always joyful

All praise be to God the Father
To the Highest Christ, the Lord
And to the Holy Ghost
Only honor to the Trinity
Amen
