962. O Saving Victim (O Salutaris)

1 O saving Victim, op'ning wide
The gate of heav'n to all below!
Our foes press on from ev'ry side:
Your aid supply, thy strength bestow.

2 To your great name be endless praise,
Immortal Godhead, One in Three;
O grant us endless length of days
When our true native land we see.

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.
