Veni Creator Spiritus
Veni Creator Spiritus
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
Vouchsafe within our souls to rest;
Come with Thy grace and heavenly aid
To fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
O Comforter, to Thee we cry,
Thou heavenly gift of God Most High,
Thou fount of life, and fire of love,
And sweet anointing from above.
Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts art known;
Thee, finger of God's hand, we own;
Thee, promise of the Father, Who
Dost make the tongue with speech endow.
Kindle our senses from above,
And make our hearts o'erflow with love;
With patience firm and virtue high
The weakness of our flesh supply.
Far from us drive the foe we dread,
And grant Thy peace with us instead;
So shall we not, with Thee for guide,
Turn from the path of life aside.
Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow
The Father and the Son to know;
And Thee, through endless times confessed,
Of both the eternal Spirit blest.
To God the Father glory be,
And to His risen Son, and Thee,
O Holy Paraclete, we raise
Unending songs of thankful praise. Amen.
