O Salutaris by Chris deSilva

This is a text by Thomas Aquinas that deSilva has set to a tune he learned in India at school.

His sheet music is here. Hymnary have more background and other settings.

BIAB made up the chords and I made a backing:

O Salutaris

St. Thomas Aquinas (1227 – 1274)

O salutaris hostia,
quae caeli pandis ostium,
bella premunt hostilia,
da robur, fer auxilium.

Uni trinoque Domino
sit sempiterna gloria,
qui vitam sine termino
nobis donet in patria.

Amen.

O Saving Victim

John Mason Neale (1818 – 1866)

O saving victim, op’ning wide
the gate of heav’n to man below;
our foes press on from ev’ry side;
thine aid supply, thy strength bestow.

To thy great name be endless praise,
immortal Godhead, One in Three;
O grant us endless length of days
in our true native land with thee.

Amen.
