lyrics

"Ave Maris Stella"

Latin:
Ave maris stella, Dei mater alma
Atque semper virgo, felix coeli porta

Sumens illud ave, Gabrielis ore
Funda nos in pace, mutans nomen Hevae

Solve vincla reis, profer lumen caesis
Mala nostrae pele, bona cuncta posce

Monstra t’esse matrem sumat per te preces
Qui pro nobis natus tulit esse tuus

Virgo singularis inter omnes mitis
Nos culpis volutes mites fac et castos

Vitam praesta puram inter para tutum
Ut videntes Jesum semper collaetemur

Sit laus Deo Patri summor Christo decus
Spiritui Sancto, Tribus honor Unus. Amen.

Translation:
Hail, star of the sea, sweet mother of God
And always virgin, favorable gate of heaven

Taking that “Ave” from the mouth of Gabriel
Placing us in peace, changing the name of “Eva”

Break the bonds of sinners, bring light to the blind
Chase all evils, beg for all good things

Show yourself to be a mother, prayers ascend through you
Which for us your Son accepted

Singular virgin among all, mild
Make us safe from sin, mild and chaste

Allow a pure life, prepare a safe journey
So that seeing Jesus we may always rejoice

May praise be the God, the Father, glory to the high son
With the Holy Spirit, honor to the Three in One.
