about

Joanna Powell Colbert wrote the verses to this song while she and I were driving home from the ATC Spring Mysteries festival and watching the changing light on the waters of Puget Sound. I added the chorus later. It's a trance piece, an altered-state song of devotion to Stella Maris, the Ocean Mother, featuring the Stella Maris Choir.

lyrics

Lady of the shimmering water
Star of ocean, evening's jewel
Blessed Maiden of the twilight
Hail, Star of the Sea!

Thou, our Queen of home and harbor
Lady of the raging storm
Hear us now, we seek Thy shelter
Call us home to Thee.

Ave Stella Maris, Stella Maris, come to me!
Ave Stella Maris, Stella Maris, Blessed Be!

Dancing on the shoreline we are watching you
Singing as the sun begins to fall
Shining on the waters, you are beautiful
We must have courage to answer when you call
And you are calling!

Ave Stella Maris, Stella Maris, come to me!
Ave Stella Maris, Stella Maris, Blessed Be!
