How do you sing the Benediction Prayer?

    Can anyone tell me if there is a standard way the Benediction prayer ("Deus, qui nobis sub sacramento....") is pointed/chanted? I am wondering because I am trying to figure out the best way to sing this prayer in English ("Lord Jesus Christ, You gave us the Eucharist..."). Is there a standard tone/pointing used for this prayer in English? If not, any suggestions on the most natural way to point/sing it? Thank you.

    I think the standard way is the use the Simple tone as in the Liber Usualis (1961 ed.) beginning at the bottom of page 100 and continuing onto page 101. You can find the book online at http://musicasacra.com/pdf/liberusualis.pdf

    Thank you very much.

    No one would happen to have the Benediction Prayer in English typed up with the chant prayer tone, would they??
