Accende lumen sensibus,
Infunde amorem cordibus,
Infirma nostri corporis
Virtute firmans perpeti.

  Hostem repellas longius,
Pacemque dones protinus ;
Ductore sic Te prævio
Vitemus omne noxium.

  Per Te sciamus da Patrem,
Noscamus atque Filium,
Teque utriusque Spiritum
Credamus omni tempore.

  Deo Patri sit gloria,
Et Filio, qui a mortuis
Surrexit, ac Paraclito
In sæculorum sæcula. Amen.

TRANSLATION.

Come, O Creator Spirit!
  Visit this soul of Thine;
This heart of Thy creating
  Fill Thou with grace divine.

Who Paraclete art call'd !
  The gift of God above!
Pure Unction ! holy Fire !
  And Fount of life and love!

Finger of God's right hand !
  The Father's promise true !
Who sevenfold gifts bestowest !
  Who dost the tongue endow !
