215. O Saving Victim, op'ning wide

1 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.

2 All praise and thanks to Thee ascend
For evermore, blest One in Three;
O grant us life that shall not end,
In our true native land with Thee.
