"Adoro te devote" is a 13th-century Eucharistic hymn by Thomas Aquinas. This Gregorian chant is beautiful in its simplicity, and we enjoyed playing this new handbell version this morning. "Godhead here in hiding whom I do adore Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more. See, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart Lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art." (translation: Gerard Manley Hopkins) We wish you all a peaceful and happy Sunday. 💜 #Handbells #Hymns #Choraegus #SacredMu
