O saving Victim, opening wide O salutaris Hostia
the gates of Heaven to man below! quae caeli pandis ostium!
Our foes press on from every side; Bella premunt hostilia;
thine aid supply, thy grace bestow. da robur, fer auxilium.
To thy great name be endless praise, Uni trinoque Domino
immortal Godhead, One in Three. sit sempiterna Gloria.
O grant us life that shall not end, Qui vitam sine termino,
in our true native land with thee. nobis donet in patria.
Amen. Amen.

Down in adoration falling, Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Lo! The sacred Host we hail; Veneremur cernui
Lo! O’er ancient forms departing, Et antiquum documentum
newer rites of grace prevail; novo cedat ritui:
faith for all defects supplying, praestet fides supplementum
where the feeble senses fail. sensuum defectui
To the everlasting Father, Genitori, Genitoque
and the Son who reigns on high, laus et iubilatio
with the Holy Ghost proceeding salus, honor virtus quoque
forth from each eternally, sit et benediction;
be salvation, honor, blessing, procedenti ab utroque
might and endless majesty, Amen. compar sit laudation. Amen.
Presider: You have given them bread from heaven,
All: having all sweetness within it.
Presider: Let us pray. Lord Jesus Christ, You gave us the Eucharist as the memorial of Your suffering and death. May our worship of Your Body and Blood help us to experience the salvation You won for us and the peace of the kingdom where You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever.
All: Amen.
