O Saving Victim, Opening Wide
Quae caeli pandis ostium:
Bella premunt hostilia,
Da robur, fer auxilium.
O saving Victim, op’ning wide
The gate of heav’n to us below,
Our foes press on from every side;
Thine aid supply, thy strength bestow.
Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria,
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet in patria.
Amen.
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.
