Lyrics: O saving Victim, opening wide
The gate of heaven for us here below;
Our foes press on from every side,
Thine aid supply, as Thy strength Thou bestow.
All praise and thanks to Thee now ascend
And evermore, O blest Lord, One in Three;
And grant us life which never shall end
In our true native land, ever with Thee.
