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.

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 be endless praise, immortal Godhead, One in Three; O grant us endless length of days in our true native land with Thee. Amen.
