Hail, star of the sea, loving Mother of God, and ever Virgin, happy gate of heaven. Receiving that Ave from the mouth of Gabriel, establish us in peace, changing the name of Eve. Loose the chains of the guilty, bring light to the blind, drive away our evils, ask for us all good things. Show yourself a Mother; may He who was born for us and consented to be yours receive our prayers through you. Amen.

Ave, maris stella, Dei Mater alma, atque semper Virgo, felix cæli porta. Sumens illud Ave Gabriélis ore, funda nos in pace, mutans Hevæ nomen. Solve vincla reis, profer lumen cæcis, mala nostra pelle, bona cuncta posce. Monstra te esse matrem, sumat per te preces qui pro nobis natus tulit esse tuus.

At Vespers on Marian feasts, and by sailors before a crossing. Ninth-century, and the reason Our Lady is called Star of the Sea: the fixed point you steer by when you can no longer see land.
