St. Thomas Aquinas

dates not given in the source

In Mediaeval Hymns and Sequences J. M. Neale calls Thomas Aquinas the Angelic Doctor and attributes to him the Eucharistic hymn 'Adoro Te devote', which he says was never in public use in the mediaeval Church but was appended to most Missals as a private devotion. Neale gives no dates for him.

This file gives Neale's two versions (1867): 'Humbly I adore Thee, hidden Deity' and 'Of the glorious Body telling', his rendering of the Corpus Christi hymn 'Pange lingua gloriosi'.
