This song is so beautiful. We sing it during Lent after the Stations of the cross. I heard Matt Maher's version on Hallow.

I heard this song a few days ago while playing the Lent playlist on Hallow since its calming music helps me concentrate while studying. Such a beautiful song.

This is the translation I found on google:

“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;
Oh, grant us endless length of days,
In our true native land with Thee. Amen”

[GGGABE]

HERE ARE THE BEAUTIFUL LYRICS:

The Word descending from above
Never to leave his Fathers side
And going forth to do His work
He reached the evening of His Life
By false disciple who betrayed, to form
and for His blood of thirst
Broken the living bread from heaven
He gave to His disciples first

Oh salutaris Hostia
Quae caeli pandis ostium
Bella premunt hostilia
Da robur, fer auxilium
Uni trinoque domino
Sienta sempiterna gloria
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet En patria

In birth He gave Himself as friend
As food at table of the Lord
As ransom paid upon the cross
And now He reigns our great reward
And now He reigns our great reward

Oh salutaris Hostia
Quae caeli pandis ostium
Bella premunt hostilia
Da robur fer auxilium
Uni trinoque domino
Sienta sempiterna gloria
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet En patria

Oh salutaris Hostia
(Oh saving victim Jesus Christ)
Quae caeli pandis ostium
(You made a way for us dear Lord)
Bella premunt hostilia
(There's a world raging in deep inside)
Da robur fer auxilium
(I need You more than ever before)
Uni trinoque domino
(I lift the Sacrifice of Praise)
Sienta sempiterna gloria
(To the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost)
Qui vitam sine termino
(Let heaven fall in these dark days)
Nobis donet En patria
(and lead us to eternal shore)

Oh salutaris Hostia
Quae caeli pandis ostium
Bella premunt hostilia
Da robur fer auxilium
Uni trinoque domino
Sienta sempiterna gloria
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet En patria

AMEN
