Come, Holy Spirit

Come Holy Spirit

(Veni Sancte Spiritus)

Holy Spirit, Lord of Light

From the clear celestial height

Thy pure beaming radiance give.

Come, Thou father of the poor

Come, with treasures to endow

Come, Thou light of all that live.

Light immortal, light divine

Visit now, these hearts of Thine

And our inmost being fill,

For without Thy grace, all turns to ill.

Veni Sancte Spiritus

Veni Sancte Spiritus

Veni Sancte Spiritus

Heal our wounds, our strength renew

On our dryness pour Thy dew

Wash the stains of guilt away.

Bend the stubborn heart and will

Melt the frozen, warm the chill

Guide our steps when we go astray.

Light immortal, light divine

Visit now, these hearts of Thine

And our inmost being fill

For without Thy grace all turns to ill.
