🎵'Tantum ergo' is the incipit of the last two verses of 'Pange lingua' a Medieval Latin hymn composed by St. Thomas of Aquinas (whose feast day is today) circa A.D. 1264. The singing of the 'Tantum ergo' occurs during Adoration and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament in the Catholic Church. A partial indulgence is to the faithful who devoutly recite the 'Tantum ergo'. But a Plenary indulgence is granted on Holy Thursday and on the feast of Corpus Christi, if it is recited in a solemnly manner.
