Veni Creator Spiritus

Come, Holy Spirit, Creator
Visit the minds of your people
Fill with heavenly grace
The hearts which you have created

You who are called the Paraclete
Gift of God most high
Living fountain, fire, love
And spiritual anointing

You are sevenfold in your gifts
The finger of the Father's right hand
You, the promised of the Father
Enriching our tongues with your word

Light the fire of your senses
Pour love into our hearts
Strengthen our weak bodies
With your lasting power

Drive the enemy far away
And give us peace without delay
Lead us so that we may avoid
All that is harmful

Through you may we know the Father
And also recognize the Son
And believe in you, the Spirit of them both
At all times

Amen
