I am not sure if this is the right forum, but I saw something similar for Tantum ergo. Our priest has recently started doing monthly Children’s Adoration for the homeschooled kids, and would like us to have the kids learn/memorize the traditional prayers for Exposition/Benediction, etc. We have already memorized the Divine Praises, and are working on the closing hymn, “Holy God We Praise Thy Name.” I found the phonetic pronunciation for “tantum ergo” here, and just had my kids copy it out both phonetically and regularly as we listened to it on you-tube over and over. Now I need something similar for “O Salutaris hostia.” Can anyone help?

Thanks 🙂

the hymn itself is very simple, and I think the only thing one would have to do would be to put accent marks on the vowels in the stressed syllables, and maybe show the syllabic breaks: for example
Code: 
O sa-lu-tá-ris Hós-tia,
Quae cæli pán-dis ós-tium:
Bella prémunt ho-stí-lia,
Da róbur, fer aux-íl-ium.

Uni trin-óque Do-mí-no
Sit sem-pi-térna gló-ria,
Qui vi-tam sí-ne tér-mino
Nó-bis dónet in pá-tria.
I may have missed one or two, but it seems to me that’s the basic idea.

You want the pronunciation like what I did on the side there, right?

sorry, I couldn’t get the spaces to stay…

I’m not sure what exactly this will lead you to, but I’m hoping it will take you to a list including Beth Nielsen Chapman’s rendition of O Salutaris Hostia. It is a pretty no-frills version of the song available for free on Grooveshark and if it is possible, you could let the kids listen to this while you point out the words on a large sheet of lyrics.
