O Salutaris Hostia

Our Lady of Perpetual Succour

O Salutaris hostia,
Quae caeli pandis ostium,
Bella premunt hostilia,
Na 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.

The above hymn is sung during Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament when the priest opens the tabernacle and incenses the Blessed Sacrament.
