Santa Maria, strela do dia [English translation]

Mary, magnified be,

with Daystar beside thee;

show the way where bide we

true to God and thou our guide be.

For thou art light that lost souls driven

near perdition, e'er with sin ill striven,

know that they with guilt sore riven

stand; but throught thee are forgive

and from their pride free

where they ne'er idly

let passion denied be

bout did all sense defied see.

Thou canst reveal to us wyfaring

paths to tread in grace full sharing

to peerless Light, the trugh declaring,

that thou alone art graced in bearing;

for God would abide thee

and all provide He

but ne'er thee denied see

nor for thee grace e'er belied be.

Wel for us thy wisdom guiding

till in Paradies abiding

where God all joy and mirth providing

waits ever those in him confiding;

then would my joy descried be

shouldst thou but deign provide me

that rest on high beside thee

my soul where doth abide he
