A popular liturgical hymn of unknown origin.  In Latin it is called Ave Maris Stella.  It can be dated back to at least the 9th century for it is preserved in the Codex Sangallensis, a 9th century manuscript now in the Swiss Monastery of St. Gallen. Its appearance in the Codex points to a composition in possibly the 8th century. The hymn is frequently attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) and sometimes has been attributed to King Robert (1031), both of whom are too late to have authored it.   In reading the English translation, a melody seemed to emanate from the words.  So I just put the two together to make a song.   Arranged by Marco Atanackovic, aka Nemesh.
