Lyrics in English:
THE QUEEN OF THE SEA
Virgin rule, I call in my song,
Virgin of rule, of my devotion,
Madrecita saint who art in heaven,
my virgin watch over us with your protection.
Black Madonna that are in the water,
you’re in heaven and in my heart.
Virgin rule, I call in my song,
Virgin of rule, of my devotion,
Madrecita saint who art in heaven,
my virgin watch over us with your protection.
Black Madonna that are in the water,
you’re in heaven and in my heart.
Oh, my Yemaya, take away the bad,
take away the bad and cast him into the sea.
Oh, my Yemaya, take away the bad,
take away the bad and cast him into the sea.
I pray, God, greet my listeners,
Keep them safe my virgin, take care of my Yemaya.
Oh, my Yemaya, take away the bad,
take away the bad and cast him into the sea.
Oh, my Yemaya, take away the bad,
take away the bad and cast him into the sea.
Oh, my Yemaya, take away the bad,
take away the bad and cast him into the sea.
Oh, my Yemaya, take away the bad,
take away the bad and cast him into the sea.

.•*¨*★Hail bright star of ocean,
God’s own Mother blest,
Ever sinless Virgin,
Gate of heavenly rest
Taking that sweet Ave
Which from Gabriel came,
Peace confirm within us,
Changing Eva’s name.
Break the captives’ fetters,
Light on blindness pour,
All our ills expelling,
Every bliss implore.
Show thyself a Mother;
May the Word Divine,
Born for us thy Infant,
Hear our prayers through thine
Virgin all excelling,
Mildest of the mild,
Freed from guilt, preserve us,
Pure and undefiled.
Keep our life all spotless,
Make our way secure,
Till we find in Jesus
Joy for evermore
Through the highest heaven
To the Almighty Three
Father, Son, and Sprit
One same glory be,
Amen.
Devotion to the Great Mother Of The Ocean, Hail My Queen! Bright Star Of The Sea! Also included are offerings to Oshun Queen of the Rivers and Fresh waters, and to King Obatala! King of the white cloth , Father of the Orishas, Master of all heads ♥

Buddhist Prayer
Evoking the presence of great compassion, let us fill our hearts with our own compassion – towards ourselves and towards all living beings.
Let us pray that all living beings realize that they are all brothers and sisters, all nourished from the same source of life.
— Buddhist Prayer
Creator, open our hearts
to peace and healing between all people.
Creator, open our hearts
to provide and protect for all children of the earth.
Creator, open our hearts
to respect for the earth, and all the gifts of the earth.
Creator, open our hearts
to end exclusion, violence, and fear among all.
Thank-you for the gifts of this day and every day.
