From the 1958 Instruction published under Pope Pius XII: “If the faithful are to communicate, the singing of the Communion antiphon is to begin when the priest distributes Holy Communion. If this Communion antiphon has been taken from some psalm, the other verses of the same psalm may be sung, in which case the antiphon may be repeated after every one or two verses and—the Communion over—the psalm should be concluded with the Gloria Patri and the repeated antiphon. But if the antiphon is not taken from a psalm, one may choose a psalm fitting to the solemnity of the liturgical action.”
