The Golden Sequence.
13th cent. Tr. J. M. Neale.

Veni, sancte Spiritus.

COME, thou holy Paraclete
And from thy celestial seat
Send thy light and brilliancy
Father of the poor, draw near;
Giver of all gifts, be here;
Come, the soul’s true radiancy

2 Come, of comforters the best,
Of the soul the sweetest guest,
Come in toil refreshingly:
Thou in labour rest most sweet
Thou art shadow from the heat
Comfort in adversitiy.

3 O thou Light, most pure and blest
Shine within the inmost breast
Of thy faithful company.
Where thou art not, man hath nought;
Every holy deed and thought
Comes from thy Divinity.

4 What is soiled, make thou pure;
What is wounded, work its cure
What is parched, fructify;
What is rigid, gently bend;
What is frozen, warmly tend;
Strengthen what goes erringly.

5. Fill thy faithful who confide
In thy power to guard and guide,
With thy sevenfold Mystery.
Here thy grace and virtue send:
Grant salvation to the end,
And in heaven felicity.
