Thanks for posting this great version of a beautiful hymn. My great grandmother was born in 1878, and when she was very old and I was very young I can remember her singing this.
The melody of the Latin "Panis Angelicus" is not the same of "Oh God of Loveliness" -- you may simply be thinking they're one and the same because of the same tempo or sounds of the chords and thirds, fourths, and sixths.
I miss the beautiful old Catholic hyms like this one that went out in the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. Today's hymns are just not as reverent.
Latin text Panis angelicus fit panis hominum; Dat panis coelicus figuris terminum: O res mirabilis! Manducat Dominum Pauper, servus et humilis. Te trina Deitas unaque poscimus: Sic nos tu visita, sicut te colimus; Per tuas semitas duc nos quo tendimus, Ad lucem quam inhabitas. Amen.
The lyrics of this song are completely different in English compared to the words from Panis Angelicus, although it seems this tune has been used for multiple hymns
It is also the tune of the hymn “God’s blessing sends us forth”

so pure and full of devotion!
I have been looking for this music for years. I knew it then as PANIS ANGELICUS back in the 1950's. Beautiful hymn.
A very beautiful hymn. You have executed perfectly. I remember singing it when I was a child and loved it then and still love it now.

Latin text
Panis angelicus
fit panis hominum;
Dat panis coelicus
figuris terminum:
O res mirabilis!
Manducat Dominum
Pauper, servus et humilis.
Te trina Deitas
unaque poscimus:
Sic nos tu visita,
sicut te colimus;
Per tuas semitas
duc nos quo tendimus,
Ad lucem quam inhabitas.
Amen.
