O Salutaris Hostia is from the last two verses of Verbum Supernum, one of the five Eucharistic Hymns written by Saint Thomas Aquinas, (1225-1274), at the request of Pope Urban IV (1261-1264) when the Pope first instituted the Feast of Corpus Christi in 1264. The prayer was used most commonly at Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
