TEXT:
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.
LITERAL TRANSLATION:
Come, Holy Spirit,
and send out from heaven
the 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 what is unclean,
water what is parched,
heal what is wounded.
Bend what is inflexible,
warm what is chilled,
correct what has gone astray.
Give to your faithful,
who trust in you,
the sevenfold gift.
Give virtue's reward,
give salvation's end,
give joy eternal.
