Transcript of Adoro Te Devote Sample
NOTES ON THE PROGRAMOne of the five hymns St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) composed for Pope Urban IV (1261-1264) when he first established the Feast of Corpus Christi in 1264. The hymn is found in the Roman Missal as a prayer of thanksgiving.
-notes by the composer
ADORO te devote, latens Deitas,quae sub his figuris vere latitas:tibi se cor meum totum subiicit,quia te contemplans totum deficit.
Iesu, quem velatum nunc aspicio,oro fiat illud quod tam sitio;ut te revelata cernens facie,visu sim beatus tuae gloriae.
-St. Thomas Aquinas
HIDDEN God, devoutly I adore Thee,truly present underneath these veils:all my heart subdues itself before Thee,since it all before Thee faints and fails.
Contemplating, God, Thy hidden presence,grant me what I thirst for and implore,in the revelation of Thy essenceto behold Thy glory evermore.
-Translation by John O'Hagan (1822-1890)
