Antiphon after Offertory: Da Pacem Domine, Chant
Hymn during Communion: Adoro Te Devote, Chant
The antiphon Da Pacem Domine is designated as an antiphon to beg for peace and shares the same text with the introit for the votive Mass for peace. The text dates from the 6th or 7th century and is based on biblical verses 2 Kings 20:19, 2 Chronicles 20:12,15 and Psalms 72:6–7: Grant us peace, O Lord, in our days For there is none other Who will fight for us Save but You, Our God. The antiphon has also been used as a refrain during processions.
Adoro Te Devote is a chant hymn written by St. Thomas Aquinas along with many other texts he composed for the institution of the feast of Corpus Christi in 1264 at the request of Pope Urban IV. The hymn is published in the Roman Missal in 1570 as a prayer of thanksgiving after Mass following the Council of Trent. The final verse encapsulates the main focus of the poem: Jesus, whom now I see hidden, I ask You to fulfill what I so desire: That the sight of Your Face being unveiled I may have the happiness of seeing Your glory.
