Veni Creator Spiritus, Mentes tuorum visita, Imple superna gratia, Quae tu creasti, pectora. Qui diceris Paraclitus, Altissimi donum Dei, Fons vivus, ignis, caritas, Et spiritalis unctio. Tu, septiformis munere, Digitus paternae dexterae, Tu rite promissum Patris, Sermone ditans guttura. Accende lumen sensibus, Infunde amorem cordibus, Infirma nostri corporis Virtute firmans perpeti. Hostem repellas longius, Pacemqui dones protinus; Ductore sic te praevio Vitemus omne noxium. Per te sciamus da Patrem, Noscamus atque Filium, Teque utriusque Spiritum Credamus omni tempore. Deo Patri sit gloria, Et Filio qui a mortuis Surrexit, ac Paraclito, In saeculorum saecula, Amen |
Come, O Creator, Spirit blest, And in our souls take up thy rest, Come with Thy grace and heavenly aid, To fill the hearts which Thou hast made. Great paraclete, to Thee we cry, O highest gift of God most high, O fount of life, O fir, O love And sweet snointing from above. Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts art known; The finger of God's hand we own; The promise of the Father Thou Who dost the tongue with power endow. Kindle our sense from above, And make our hearts o'erflow with love; With patience firm and virtue high The weakness of our flesh supply. Drive far from us the foe we dread, And grant us Thy true peace instead; So shall we not, with Thee for guide Turn from the path of life aside. Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow Thy Father and the Son to know And Thee, through endless times, confess'd Of both th'eternael Spirit blest. All glory, while the ages run, Be to the Father and the Song Who rose from death; the same to Thee, O Holy Ghost, eternally. |
