OSTINATO RESPONSE
Veni Sancte Spiritus.
CANTOR 1
1. Come, Holy Spirit, from heaven shine forth with your glorious light.
2. Come, Father of the poor, come, generous Spirit, come, light of our hearts.
CANTOR 2
1. Come from the four winds, O Spirit, come breath of God; disperse the shadows over us, renew and strengthen your people.
2. Father of the poor come to our poverty. Shower upon us the seven gifts of your grace. Be the light of our lives, oh come.
3. You are our only comforter, Peace of the soul. In the heat you shade us; in our labor you refresh us, and in trouble you are our strength.
4. Kindle in our hearts the flame of your love that in the darkness of the world it may glow and reach to all for ever.
FRENCH
1. Viens, Saint Esprit, notre lumière éclaire le chemin des hommes.
2. Dans l'épreuve, sois notre force, dans la tristesse la consolation.
3. Abreuve notre sécheresse, fléchis notre dureté, enflamme notre tiédeur.
4. Accordenous d'être fidèles dans la foi donnenous la joie qui demeure.
