Adeste, Coelitum chori. Nicholas le Tourneaux. [Easter.] In the revised Paris Breviary, 1736, this hymn was for the Ferial Office at Matins (Sundays included) in Eastertide, beginning on Low Sunday and continuing to the Feast of the Ascension, and is marked with the initials "N. T." It is also used in like manner in the Lyons and other modern French Breviaries. The Paris Breviary text was reprinted in Card. Newman's Hymni Ecclesiae, 1838 and 1865, and J. Chandler's Hymns of the Primitive Church, 1837, No, 68. [Rev. W. A. Shoults, B. D.]
