O Salutaris Hostia
O Salutaris Hostia
Traditional English Formula
O saving Victim, open wide
The gate of heaven to man below!
Our foes press on from every side;
Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.
To Thy great Name be endless praise,
Immortal Godhead, One in Three;
O grant us endless length of days
In our true native land with Thee. Amen.
Textus Latinus (Traditional Latin Formula)
O salutaris Hostia,
Quae caeli pandis ostium:
Bella premunt hostilia,
Da robur, fer auxilium.
Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria,
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet in patria. Amen.
