Hymne
Veni Creator Spiritus, mentes tuorum visita, imple superna gratia, quae tu creasti pectora. Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest, and in our souls take up Thy rest; come with Thy grace and heavenly aidto fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
Qui Paraclitus diceris, donum Dei altissimi, fons vivus, ignis, caritas, et spiritalis unctio. O comforter, to Thee we cry, O heavenly gift of God Most High, O fount of life and fire of love, and sweet anointing from above.
Tu septiformis munere, dextrae Dei tu digitus, Tu rite promissum Patris, sermone ditans guttura. Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts are known;Thou, finger of God's hand we own; Thou, promise of the Father, Thou Who dost the tongue with power imbue.
Accende lumen sensibus, infunde amorem cordibus, infirma nostri corporis virtute firmans perpeti. Kindle our sense from above, and make our hearts overflow with love; with patience firm and virtue high the weakness of our flesh supply.
Hostem repellas longius, pacemque dones protinus: ductore sic te praevio vitemus omne noxium. Far from us drive the foe we dread, and grant us Thy peace instead; so shall we not, with Thee for guide, turn from the path of life aside.
Per te sciamus da Patrem, noscamus atque Filium. Te utriusque Spiritum credamus omni tempore. 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.
