Glory and Praise (3rd. ed.) ‎#427

427. O Saving Victim (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 salutáris Hóstia,
Quae caeli pandis óstium:
Bella premunt hostília,
Da robur fer auxílium.

2 Uni trinóque Dómino
Sit sempitèrna glória,
Qui vitam sine tèrmino
Nobis donet in pátria.
