Veni

Come, Holy Spirit, and give out
the heavenly radiance of your light;
come, father of the poor, come, giver of gifts,
come, light of all hearts;
best of comforters, sweet guest of the soul,
refreshingly sweet;
rest in labour, calm in the storm,
solace in weeping.
O most blessed light, fill the inmost heart
of thy faithful.
Without your power there is nothing in a man,
nothing is wholesome.
Wash what is soiled, water what is parched,
heal what is wounded.
Bend what is set firm, warm what is cold,
rule over what has gone astray.
Give to your faithful, who trust in you,
your sevenfold gifts.
Reward the virtuous, release the rescued,
give joy for ever. Amen. Alleluia!
