Listen in the reader

Mary Star of the Sea! Look on this little place: Bless the kind fisher race, Mary Star of the Sea!

Send harvest from the deep, Mary Star of the Sea! Mary Star of the Sea! Let not these women weep.

Mary Star of the Sea! Give wife and mother joy In husband and in boy: Mary Star of the Sea!

With intercession save, Mary Star of the Sea! Mary Star of the Sea! These children of the wave.

Mary Star of the Sea! Pour peace upon the wild Waves, make their murmurs mild: Mary Star of the Sea!

Now in thy mercy pray, Mary Star of the Sea! Mary Star of the Sea! For sailors far away.

Mary Star of the Sea! Now be thy great prayers said For all poor seamen dead: Mary Star of the Sea!
