Seasonal & Liturgical Prayers
Veni Creator Spiritus (Come, Creator Spirit)
The ninth-century hymn ascribed to Rabanus Maurus, sung at Pentecost, at ordinations, at the opening of councils, and at the conclave that elects a pope.
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
and in our hearts take up thy rest;
come with thy grace and heavenly aid
to fill the hearts which thou hast made.
O Comforter, to thee we cry,
thou heavenly gift of God most high,
thou fount of life and fire of love,
and sweet anointing from above.
Thy light to every sense impart,
and shed thy love in every heart;
thine own unfailing might supply
to strengthen our infirmity.
Teach us to know the Father, Son,
and thee, of both, to be but One;
that through the ages all along
this may be our endless song. Amen.
Roman Breviary / Liturgy of the Hours, Pentecost
