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.

English Translation:

O saving Victim, opening 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 by endless praise,

Immortal Godhead, one in Three;

Oh, grant us endless length of days,

In our true native land with Thee. Amen
