Come, O Creator Spirit, come,
and make within our heart thy home;
to us thy grace celestial give,
who of thy breathing move and live.
Veni Creator Spiritus
O Comforter, that name is thine,
of God most high the gift divine:
the well of life, the fire of love,
our souls' anointing from above.
Veni Creator Spiritus
Thou dost appear in sev'n-fold dower,
the sign of God's almighty power,
the Father's rpomise, making rich
with saving turth our earthly speech.
Veni Creator Spiritus
Our senses with thy light inflame;
our hearts to heav'nly love reclaim;
our bodies' poor infirmity
with strength perpetual fortify.
Veni Creator Spiritus
Our mortal foe afar repel;
grant us henceforth in peace to dwell;
and so to us, with thee for guide,
no ill shall come, no harm betide.
Veni Creator Spiritus
May we by thee the Father learn,
and know the Son, and thee discern,
who art of both, and thus adore
in perfect faith forevermore. Amen.
Veni Creator Spiritus
