Special Edition: "Veni Sancte Spiritus" by Unknown Writer (in Latin and English)

Veni, Sancte Spiritus,

et emitte caelitus

lucis tuae radium.

 

Veni, pater pauperum,

veni, dator munerum,

veni, lumen cordium.

 

Consolator optime,

dulcis hospes animae,

dulce refrigerium.

 

In labore requies,

in aestu temperies,

in fletu solatium.

 

O lux beatissima,

reple cordis intima

tuorum fidelium.

 

Sine tuo numine,

nihil est in homine,

nihil est innoxium.

 

Lava quod est sordidum,

riga quod est aridum,

sana quod est saucium.

 

Flecte quod est rigidum,

fove quod est frigidum,

rege quod est devium.

 

Da tuis fidelibus,

in te confidentibus,

sacrum septenarium.

 

Da virtutis meritum,

da salutis exitum,

da perenne gaudium.

 

Come, Holy Spirit,

send forth the heavenly

ray of your light.

 

Come, father of the poor,

come, giver of gifts,

come, light of hearts.

 

Greatest comforter,

sweet guest of the soul,

sweet consolation.

 

In labour, rest,

in heat, temperateness,

in tears, solace.

 

O most blessed light,

fill the inmost heart

of your faithful.

 

Without the nod of your head,

there is nothing in man,

nothing that is harmless.

 

Cleanse that which is unclean,

water that which is dry,

heal that which is wounded.

 

Bend that which is inflexible,

warm that which is chilled,

correct that which has gone astray.

 

Give to your faithful,

those who trust in you,

the sevenfold gifts.

 

Give the reward of virtue,

give a death of salvation,

give joy constantly.
