Hymn of the Month - July: O Dearest Love Divine
July 1, 2025 - 3:25pm — Don9of11
For my HYMN OF THE MONTH, I have chosen a hymn that is a translation of the Latin Ad Cor Jesu (To the Heart of Jesus) by Monsignor Hugh Thomas Henry, Litt.D., which was published in 1912. The music was composed by Nicola Montani, an accomplished musician, composer, and publisher. The hymn is a testament that devotional hymns which have long been forgotten can once again find their place our Catholic liturgy. Please take a moment to read about this beautiful hymn to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

I am Catholic and a piano teacher. The Catholic Church has the most beautiful treasury of hymns.
I want my students to study hymns. Also, I want to memorize the words of some of the hymns that are in Latin and having access to the sheet music will help with that. Thank you.

I have been a minister of music for almost 40 years, and I am, primarily, an ear-trained pianist/composer. I am hoping that, becoming a member, I will be able to find sheet music (mostly, lead sheets, if available), that also contain the guitar chords, as I, typically, see them, and then, improvise, accordingly.

I am a resident organist and singer, also training choirs. I very much would appreciate learning more contemporary music to help integrate a wider and more diverse congregation. Thank you.

Nicola Montana – I remember the name well. He published the St. Gregory Hymnal and Catholic Choir Book. I still have about a half dozen copies of this beloved hymnal that had both Latin and English hymns.
I just visited Nancy’s website at Nancy Scimone Music and will likely do a story pointing folks to her beautiful recordings of sacred hymns.
Thank you for your diligent work in featuring this hymn and sharing it with everyone.
