In our opening hymn, the sequence and our motet at the preparation of the gifts, we sang three of Thomas Aquinas’s texts for this feast. Ave Verum Corpus and Anima Christi (Soul of my Saviour) both date from the century after Aquinas, but on the whole it was a good day for the authors of mediaeval verses in honour of the Blessed Sacrament. James Quinn’s hymn (with refrain added by Michael Joncas), rich in scriptural images of our Lord, is a worthy companion for these more venerable texts.
Just to say that I hope you don't mind but I have linked to this blog from mine...
