"Hail, Jesus Truly Present," a Eucharistic hymn in honor of Bl. Carlo Acutis

Anna_Bendiksen

Grace and peace, everyone.

Here is a new hymn of mine, tune named for Bl. Carlo Acutis. It is especially intended for use at Benediction in Advent but could easily, I think, work for Christ the King as well. Enjoy.

Anna, not only do I love the text, but the music is a cut above. The Chistus Vincit refrain was very clever and an excellent choice.

Thanks, ServiamScores, that is super kind.

Fixing 1) one note out of place in the final cadence and 2) a dangling modifier.

(Bl. Carlo, pray for me.)

I'm glad you reminded me of this. I regret not thinking of it for last week. I will wait through advent now (seems a bit big to me for that) but I will definitely be putting this before my congregation.

Thanks, ServiamScores! As it happens, I was trying to remember why I thought this was for Advent specifically. Maybe I started writing it with that in mind, but it seems to me now to fit Christ the King---or Benediction in all seasons---much better. (Should you choose to use it in whatever season, do let me know---I'll indicate that on my website.)
