Ave, maris stella,

Felix coeli porta.

Profer lumen caecis,
Mala nostra pelle,
Bona cuncta posce.

Hail, star of the sea

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Grieg)

See original

Language: English after the Latin

Hail, star of the sea,
Dear mother of God
And always a virgin,
The blessed gate of heaven.

 ... 

Loose the chains from sinners,
Hold out light to the blind,
Drive our ills away,
Ask all good things for us.

 ... 

Grant us a pure life,
Prepare the way to you,
So that, seeing Jesus,
We may always rejoice with you.

Praise be to God the Father,
Glory to Christ on high,
And to the Holy Spirit --
One honour to the three.
