1 O saving Victim, op'ning wide
The gate of heav'n to us below,
Our foes press on from every side;
Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.
2 All praise and thanks to Thee ascend
Forevermore, blest One in Three;
O grant us life that shall not end
In our true native land with thee.
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.
