Hymn
The first stanza of the following hymn is said kneeling.
Hail, star of the sea,
gentle Mother of God,
and ever Virgin,
happy gate of heaven.
Receiving that Ave
from the mouth of Gabriel,
establish us in peace,
changing the name of Eve.
Loose the chains of the guilty,
bring forth light to the blind,
drive away our evils,
beg for all good things.
Show yourself to be a mother;
let him receive through you our prayers,
who, born for us,
consented to be yours.
O singular Virgin,
gentle above all others,
free us from our sins
and make us gentle and chaste.
Grant a pure life,
prepare a safe journey,
that, beholding Jesus,
we may rejoice together always.
Let praise be to God the Father,
and honor to Christ the Most High,
and to the Holy Spirit,
one honor to the Three.
Amen.
