140. O saving Victim, open wide (O salutaris Hostia)

1 O saving Victim, open wide
The gate of heav'n to us below,
Our foes press on from ev'ry side;
Your aid supply, your strength bestow.

2 To your great name be endless praise,
Immortal Godhead, One in Three;
Grant us, for endless length of days,
In our true native land to be.

LATIN -
1 O salutaris Hostia,
Quae caeli pandis ostium:
Bella premunt hostilia,
Da robur fer auxilium.

2 Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria,
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet in patria.
