071 - Hail, Queen of Heaven

Posted in Song Book

      1. Hail, queen of heaven, the ocean star
          Guide of the wanderer 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 wanderer, pray for me.

      2. O gentle, chaste, and spotless maid
          We sinners make our prayers tho’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 God-head 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.
