Pentecost Sequence: Veni, Sancte Spiritus (This text is chanted at Mass on Pentecost Sunday after the Second Reading and before the Gospel Acclamation.)
Come, Holy Spirit, come! Nothing free from taint of ill. And from your celestial home Heal our wounds, our strength renew; Shed a ray of light divine! On our dryness pour your dew; Come, Father of the poor! Wash the stains of guilt away: Come, source of all our store! Bend the stubborn heart and will; Come, within our bosoms shine. Melt the frozen, warm the chill; You, of comforters the best; Guide the steps that go astray. You, the soul’s most welcome guest; On the faithful, who adore Sweet refreshment here below; And confess you, evermore In our labor, rest most sweet; In your sevenfold gift descend; Grateful coolness in the heat; Give them virtue’s sure reward; Solace in the midst of woe. Give them your salvation, Lord; O most blessed Light divine, Give them joys that never end. Shine within these hearts of yours, Amen. Alleluia. And our inmost being fill!
