Veni Creator Spiritus
Come, Creator Spirit, visit the minds you created
Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest,
and in our souls take up your rest;
come with your grace and heavenly aid
to fill the hearts which you have made.
O comfort blest, to you we cry,
you heavenly gift of God most high;
you font of life and fire of love,
and the anointing Spirit from above.
Teach us to have no other god,
put in our hearts your fearlessness;
and do not let us trust in any
save only in your powerful help. Amen.
