O Stern im Meere, Fürstin der Liebe, Aller Betrübten Labung und Trost! Wenn du mir lächelst, Fürcht ich kein Unheil, Alles ist heiter, Alles ist gut! Höre mein Flehen, Neige dein Antlitz, Gib, meine Herrin, Frieden und Ruh'! O Stern im Meere, Mutter der Schmerzen, Aller Bedrängten Hilfe und Heil! Wenn du mich tröstest, Trocknen die Thränen, Schwindet all' Trübsal, schwindet das Leid! Höre mein Flehen, Neige dein Antlitz, Gib, meine Herrin, Frieden und Ruh'! O Stern im Meere, Pforte des Himmels, Aller der Schiffer Hoffnung und Ziel! Wenn du mir leuchtest, Wenn du mich leitest, Schweigen die Stürme, nahet der Port. Höre mein Flehen, Neige dein Antlitz, Gib, meine Herrin, Frieden und Ruh'!

Oh star of the sea, Princess of love, The reviving and comfort of all who are downcast! When Thou smilest upon me, I fear no harm, All is serene, all is well! Hear my pleas, Incline Thy face, My Lady, give me peace and rest! Oh star of the sea, Mother of anguish, The help and salvation of all the oppressed! When Thou comfortest me, My tears dry, All misery vanishes, suffering vanishes! Hear my pleas, Incline Thy face, My Lady, give me peace and rest! Oh star of the sea, Gateway of Heaven, The hope and goal of all sailors! When Thou shinest for me, When Thou leadest me, The storms fall silent, the harbour nears. Hear my pleas, Incline Thy face, My Lady, give me peace and rest!
