O Saving Victim O Saving Victim
O saving Victim,
opening wide the gate of heaven to us below,
our foes press on from every side,
thine aid supply thy strength bestow.
All praise and thanks to thee ascend
forevermore, blest One in Three;
O grant us life that shall not end,
in our true native land with thee.
