O Saving Victim (O Salutaris Hostia)

 

O Saving Victim opening wide
The gate of heaven to all below.
Our foes press on from every side;
Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.

To Thy great name be endless praise
Immortal Godhead, One in Three;
Oh, grant us endless length of days,
In our true native land with Thee.

Amen.
 

 O Salutaris Hostia
Quae caeli pandis ostium
Bella premunt Hostilia,
Da roburfer auxilium.

Uni Trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet in patria.

Amen.
