English: HAIL, QUEEN OF HEAVEN (alternate tune)

1	Hail, Queen of heav'n, the ocean star, Guide of the wand'rer here below; Thrown on life's surge, we claim thy care: Save us from peril and from woe. Mother of Christ, O Star of the sea, Pray for the wanderer, pray for me.
2	O gentle, chaste, and spotless Maid, We sinners make our prayers through thee; Remind thy Son that He has paid The price of our iniquity. Virgin most pure, O star of the sea, Pray for the sinner, pray for me.
3	And while to Him Who reigns above In Godhead one, in Persons three, The Source of life, of grace, of love, Homage we pay on bended knee: Do thou, bright Queen, O star of the sea, Pray for thy children, pray for me.
