O Salutaris Hostia (O Saving Victim)
A timeless hymn of devotion, traditionally sung during Adoration and Benediction. It offers a heartfelt plea for salvation and divine protection, honoring Christ’s sacrifice and the promise of eternal life. Frequently heard in Latin or English.
O saving victim opening wide
The gate of heaven to all 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;
Oh, grant us endless length of days,
In our true native land with Thee.
Amen.
