Description
New edition for SATB and organ. Text by Thomas Aquinas, in English. This rich and unhurried setting is exquisitely expressive, building up to the beautiful final "Amen" in a style reminiscent of the English cathedral tradition. Absolutely beautiful and one of our favorites!

Lyrics
O saving victim, opening wide the gate of heaven to us below,
our foes press in from every side, thine aid supply, thy strength bestow.
All praise and thanks to thee ascend for ever more, blest One in Three,
O grant us life that shall not end in our true native land with thee.
Amen.
