Hymn at the Elevation

O salutaris hostia,

O saving host, that heaven’s gate,

Quæ cœli pandis ostium;

Laidst open at so dear a rate;

Bella premunt hostilia,

Intestine wars invade our breast;

Da robur, fer auxilium.

Be thou our strength, support, and rest.

Uni trinoque Domino,

To God the Father, and the Son,

Sit sempiterna gloria:

And Holy Spirit, three in one,

Qui vitam sine termino,

Be endless praise: may He above.

Nobis donet in patria.

With life eternal crown our love.

Finis.
