Full Lyrics
[INTRO]
Veni Sancte Spiritus,
Veni Sancte Spiritus.
[VERSE 1]
Come, Holy Spirit come!
And from thy celestial home
Shed a ray of light divine.
[VERSE 2]
Come, Father of the poor!
Source of our store
Come within our blossom shine.
[VERSE 3]
Thou, of comforters the best;
Thou the soul's most welcome guest
Sweet refreshment below.
[VERSE 4]
In our labour rest most sweet
Grateful coolness in the heat
So in the midst of woe.
[VERSE 5]
O most blessed light divine,
Shine within these heart of thine
And our inmost being fill.
[VERSE 6]
Where thou art not man has naught,
Nothing good in deed or thought
Nothing free from taint of ill.
[VERSE 7]
Heal our wounds our strenght renew,
On thy dryness pour thy dew
Wash the stains of guilt away.
[VERSE 8]
Bend the stubborn heart and will
Melt the frozen, warm and chill
Guide the steps that go astray.
[VERSE 9]
On the faithful who adore
And confess thee evermore
In thy sev'nfold gift descend.
[VERSE 10]
Give them virtue's sure reward
Give them thy salvation Lord
Give them joys that never end.
