Star of the Sea
When evening shades are falling O’er ocean’s sunny sleep, To pilgrims’ hearts recalling Their home beyond the deep; When rest, o’er all descending, The shores with gladness smile, And lutes, their echoes blending, Are heard from isle to isle: Then, Mary, Star of the Sea, We pray, we pray, to thee.

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
- Matthew 1: 20-21
