Full Lyrics
OSTINATO
Veni Sancte Spiritus.
Holy Spirit, Come to us,
VERSE 1
Come, Holy Spirit, from heaven shine forth
with your glorious light
Veni Sancte Spiritus.
VERSE 2
Come Father of the poor,
Come, generous Spirit,
Come, light of our hearts,
Veni Sancte Spiritus.
VERSE 3
Come from the four winds, O Spirit,
Come breath of God;
disperse the shadows over us,
renew and strengthen your people,
Veni Sancte Spiritus.
VERSE 4
Most kindly warming light!
Enter the inmost depths of our hearts,
for we are faithful to you.
Without your presence, we have nothing worthy
nothing pure.
Veni Sancte Spiritus.
VERSE 5
You are our only Comforter,
Peace of the soul.
In the heat you hide us;
in our labour you refresh us,
and in trouble, you are our strength.
Veni Sancte Spiritus.
VERSE 6
On all who put their trust in you
and receive you in faith
shower all your gifts.
Grant that they may grow in you
and persevere to the end,
Give them lasting joy.
Veni Sancte Spiritus.
