A HYMN FOR THE MONTH OF MAY
Ave Maris Stella
Sea-Star! we acclaim thee,
God's kind Mother name thee!
Hail, thou Maid immortal,
Heaven's blissful portal.
Ave was the token
By the Angel spoken!
Peace on earth it telleth,
Eva's name re-spelleth.
Ask light for the blinded,
Free the worldly-minded;
Thus our ills repressing,
Win us every blessing.
Be to us a Mother;
For thy Son, our Brother,
Will, for our salvation,
Heed thy supplication.
Maiden meek and lowly,
Singularly holy,
Hardened sinners render
Meek and chaste and tender.
In straight paths direct us,
On our way protect us,
Till on Jesus gazing,
We shall join thy praising.
Father, Son eternal,
Holy Ghost supernal,
Thee we bless as Trinal,
One and First and Final. Amen.
