O Salutaris Hostia - SSAATTBB | Arr Ēriks Ešenvalds


Listen Later

Written by Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274) | Arr Ēriks Ešenvalds

"O Salutaris Hostia" is a famous Latin hymn used in Catholic liturgy, specifically during the Adoration and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

English translation (often attributed to John Mason Neale/Edward Caswall):

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.
