Lyrics: Anonymous
Music: Jean Titelouze
Chant: Ave, Maris Stella (incipit only)
Hail, Star of the Sea
Chant: Sumens illud Ave
Receiving that “Ave”
From the mouth of Gabriel
Transforming the name of “Eva,”
Confirm us in peace.
Chant: Monstra te esse
Show thyself to be a mother,
That He may accept our prayers through thee,
He who, in being born for us,
Willed himself to be your Son.
Chant: Vitam praesta puram
Keep our life pure,
Make our ways safe,
That when we see Jesus
We may rejoice forever.
