1 O saving Victim, op'ning wide
The gate of heav'n to man 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;
O grant us endless length of days
When our true native land we see.

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.
