O SAVING VICTIM / O SALUTARIS

Words: Thomas Aquinas, thirteenth century; Translation: Edward Caswall

O Salutaris Hostia,

Quae coeli pandis ostium;

Bella premunt hostilia,

Da robur, fer auxilium.

 

 Uni Trinoque Domino

Sit sempiterna gloria:

Qui vitam sine termino

Nobis donet in patria. Amen.

O saving Victim, open wide

The gate of Heaven to man below;

Our foes press on from every side;

Thy strength supply; Thine aid bestow.

 

All praise and thanks to Thee ascend,

For evermore, bless'd Three in One.

O grant us life that shall not end

In our true native land with Thee. Amen
