English: HAIL, QUEEN OF HEAVEN, THE OCEAN STAR (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, Star of the sea, Pray for the wand'rer, pray for me.
2	O gentle, chaste, and spotless Maid, We sinners make our pray'rs through thee; Remind thy Son that He has paid The price of our iniquity. Virgin most pure, Star of the sea, Pray for the sinner, pray for me.
3	Sojourners in this vale of tears, To thee, blest advocate, we cry; Pity our sorrows, calm our fears, And soothe with hope our misery. Refuge in grief, Star of the sea, Pray for the mourner, pray for me.
4	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, Star of the sea, Pray for thy children, pray for me.
