As we were leaving

Before a fuller post, I though that it would be worth sharing a finding from our last session about Thomas Aquinas' great Eucharistic hymn,. Tantum Ergo.
Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui:
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.
Genitori, Genitoque
Laus et jubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.

It matches this melody note for note

The hymn will never be quite the same...
As an aside, here are some visitors from last summer.
I particularly enjoy the enthusiastic shouts of 'Gie it laldie' from 1.20 with 'Gie it laldie in the Raploch. This is a Papist stronghold' from 5.50. Fast Forward if you prefer.
