AVE MARIS STELLA

(HAIL! THOU STAR OF OCEAN)

Text: Traditional

Music: Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
Hail thou star of ocean,
Portal of the sky;
Ever Virgin Mother
Of the Lord Most High.

2
O! by Gabriel's Ave
Uttered long ago,
Eva's name reversing,
Established peace below.

3
Break the captive's fetters,
Light on blindness pour;
All our ills expelling,
Every bliss implore.

4
Show thyself a Mother,
Offer Him our sighs;
Who for us incarnate
Did not thee despise.

5
Virgin of all virgins
To Thy shelter take us;
Gentlest of the gentle
Chaste and gentle make us.

6
Still, as on we journey
Help our weak endeavor;
Till with thee and Jesus
We rejoice forever.

6
Through the highest heaven,
To the almighty three:
Father, Son and Spirit,
One same glory be.
Amen!

Hail, O Queen of heaven enthroned!
Hail, by angels Mistress owned.
Root of Jesse, gate of morn,
Whence the world's true light was born.
Glorious Virgin, joy to thee,
Loveliest whom i heaven they see;
Fairest thou were all our fair,
Plead with Christ our sins to spare.

(Repeat all)

Hail, O Queen of heaven enthroned!
Hail, by angels Mistress owned.
Root of Jesse, gate of morn,
Whence the world's true light was born.

TIME TO REJOICE

Text: Beverly J. Anderson
Music: Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
Open the windows and let the sun in -
Oh, listen how - sweet the birds sing;
The bond of winter has broken away,
It’s time to rejoice and greet spring.

2
Hillsides are lovely in green once again,
And blossoms appear on the trees.
Flowers are waking aroused by spring’s kiss,
And lilac scent drifts on the breeze.

3
Earth now is bursting with joy and rebirth.
Oh, how can a soul fail to sing!
After life’s winter comes heart - peace and hope -
All part of God’s promise called spring.

(Repeat all)

1
In this sacrifice sublime
We lift up our hearts and minds
Together with the Body and Blood You offer
For us all to share.

As we renew your death
We remember our debts
But with you is forgiveness
Which gives life happiness,
The cure of broken promises.

Today and day by day
You offered your Body
While people all uniting in this great feasting:
The heaven's rejoicing.
