UR Lady  of  Light,  spouse  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  I  give thee my  whole  self,  soul  and  body,  all  I  have,  or  may have, to  keep  for  Jesus,  that  I  may  be  His  for  evermore.

Our Lady  of  Light,  spouse  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  pray  for me.

AIL, thou  star  of  ocean! Portal of  the  sky! Ever virgin  Mother Of the  Lord  most  high!

Oh! by Gabriel's  Ave, Uttered long  ago, Eva's name  reversing, Establish peace  below.

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

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

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

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