O saving Victim, open wide the gates of heaven to us below!
Our foes press on from every side: Your aide supply your strength bestow!
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.
We come adore with a thankful heart; You are hear with us; we sing Your praise!
We come to worship and exult; we will glorify You until the end of our days!
O salutaris hostia, quae caeli pandis ostium:
Bella premunt hostilia, Da robur fer auxilium.
We come adore with a thankful heart; You are hear with us; we sing Your praise!
We come to worship and exult; we will glorify You until the end of our days!
