The author of this Italian hymn is unknown. In the Index to the People's Hyl. 1867, it is attributed to "S. Alfonso" (Liguori), but we know of no authority for the ascription. The hymn is found in the Raccolta di Orazioni e Pie Opere colle Indulgenze, and is one of the "Aspirazioni Divote" therein. It is usually regarded as being of the 18th cent., but we have failed to trace it beyond this work.
