The gate of heav'n to all below,
Our foes press on from ev'ry side;
Thine aid supply, thy strength bestow.
2 All praise and thanks to thee ascend
Forevermore, blest One in Three;
O grant us life that shall not end
In our true native land with thee.
Amen.
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. Topics: Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction Languages: English; Latin Tune Title: DUGUET
