This is a lovely setting in Latin of the final stanza from the well-known hymn Verbum Supernum (c. 1263) by Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274). Page 2 features the original Latin text and an English translation by Edward Caswell (1814-1878). "O saving Victim, opening wide the gate of heaven to all below: our foes press on from every 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.".
