[Intro] G C G Em C G C D G [Verse 1]
G                         C
The Word descending from above

                             G
Never to leave His Father’s side

    Em                    C
And going forth to do His work

   G                          D
He reached the evening of His life

   G                    C
By false disciple who betrayed

                         G
To foemen for his blood athirst

   Em                         C
Broken, the living bread from Heaven

   G       C       D     G
He gave to His disciples first
[Chorus]
G
O salutaris hostia

     D
Quae Caeli pandis ostium,

  Em
Bella premunt hostilia:

   C
Da robur, fer auxilium

 G
Uni trinoque Domino

    D
Sit sempiterna gloria,

    Em
Qui vitam sine termino

  C
Nobis donet in patria.
[Instrumental] G C Em [Verse 2]
G                            C
In birth, He gave Himself as friend

                 D      G
As food at table of the lord

   Em                   C
As ransom paid upon the cross

    G      C           D       C
And now he reigns, our great reward

    G      C           D       C
And now he reigns, our great reward
[Chorus]
G
O salutaris hostia

     D
Quae Caeli pandis ostium,

Bella premunt hostilia:

   C
Da robur, fer auxilium

 G
Uni trinoque Domino

    D
Sit sempiterna gloria,

    Em
Qui vitam sine termino

  C
Nobis donet in patria.
[Chorus]
G
O salutaris hostia
(oh saving victim Jesus Christ)
     D
Quae Caeli pandis ostium,
(You made a way for us below)
  Em
Bella premunt hostilia:
(There’s a war still raging deep inside)
   C
Da robur, fer auxilium
(I need you more than ever before)
 G
Uni trinoque Domino
(I lift a sacrifice of praise)
    D
Sit sempiterna gloria,
(To the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost)
    Em
Qui vitam sine termino
(Let Heavan fall in these dark days)
  C
Nobis donet in patria.
(And lead us to eternal shores) [Chorus]
G
O salutaris hostia

     D
Quae Caeli pandis ostium,

Bella premunt hostilia:

   C
Da robur, fer auxilium

 G
Uni trinoque Domino

    D
Sit sempiterna gloria,

    Em
Qui vitam sine termino

  C
Nobis donet in patria.

G
Amen
