1 O Saving Victim, op'ning 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;
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.
Amen.
