Blest above all other,
Guiding star of ocean,
Lead us to salvation.
Now with Gabriel's blessing,
We, your grace confessing,
Offer you our greeting,
For your peace entreating.
Break the bonds that chain us,
Heav'nly mercy gain us,
Free us from our blindness
In your loving kindness.
Mother of Salvation,
hear our supplication,
To our Saviour pleading,
Kindly interceding.
Teach us, maiden lowly,
To be pure and holy,
So by your endeavor
We rejoice forever.
