About the piece
A Eucharistic hymn praising Jesus present in the sacrament, with an alleluia in every verse. This edition carries the melody with its text, in 32 measures in 3/4.
How to prepare it
The melody is very singable and is learned quickly; its register is comfortable, F4–D5 (a major sixth). Watch the phrase endings: singing them softly keeps the hymn from getting heavy in triple meter, and always breathe in the same places so the assembly can follow you. It is a good starting point for choirs beginning to sing in parts, because the main line is already so clear.
When to use it
It works in Eastertide and, above all, for the communion procession and Eucharistic celebrations (Corpus Christi, adoration).
