The text is an English translation of Veni Sancte Spiritus. Come, Thou Holy Spirit, Come, And from Thy celestial home Shed a ray of light Divine, Halelujah, Halelujah, Halelujah ! Come, Thou Father of the poor, Come, Thou source of all our store, Come within our bosoms shine, Halelujah, Halelujah, Halelujah ! Thou of Comforters the best, Thou the soul's most welcome guest, Sweet refreshment here below, Halelujah, Halelujah, Halelujah ! In our labor rest most sweet, Grateful coolness in the heat, Solace in the midst of woe. Halelujah, Halelujah, Halelujah ! Fill the faithful who adore, And confess Thee evermore, In Thy sevenfold gifts descend, Halelujah, Halelujah, Halelujah ! Give them virtue's sure reward, Give them Thy salvation, Lord, And them joys that never end, Halelujah, Halelujah, Halelujah ! Amen.
