Hymn usually given in the "Thanksgiving after Mass," in the Missal; it is often sung at Benediction. It was written by Saint Thomas Aquinas (1227-74). There are about 25 translations. The English title given is by J. O'Hagan; the third verse reads:On the Cross was veiled Thy'Godhead's splendor, Here Thy Manhood lieth hidden too; Unto both alike my faith I render, And, as sued the contrite thief. I sue.New Catholic Dictionary
