Hymn to Holy Mary at vespers
1.
Mary, splendid star,
All peoples praise you,
From whom under the evening of the world
The sun of justice has arisen.
2.
Give the heart to be ripped from the shadows,
Give the true light to be enjoyed fully,
Which night of old life she
Illuminates with new merits.
3.
Through you we are cleansed of our sins,
We are released from the chains of our guilt,
The mind (soul) cast forth from plucked thorns,
Produces seeds of virtue.
4.
Let there be praise to you, in the most high.
