O giver of life and splendour of joys

O sweetness of all delights, in you never fading!

Pray for us to your Son,

O Mary, Star of the Sea.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

Pray for us to your Son,

O Mary, Star of the Sea.

5. O splendidissima gemma. Antiphon5

Most splendid of gemstones!

Bright beauty of the sun!

He poured upon you,

as a leaping fountain from the heart of the Father,

His unique and only Word,

through whom he made the primal matter of the world

which Eve the woman threw into confusion.

In your image, Father, this Word created the human being.

Therefore, Mary, you are the bright matter

through which the Word breathed all the virtues forth,

as once he led forth, in the primal matter of the world, the whole of creation.
