The Cyber Hymnal ‎#5320

5320. O Saving Victim, Open Wide

1. O saving Victim, open wide
The gate of Heaven to man below;
Our foes press on from every 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.
