Da virtutis meritum, da salutis exitum, da perenne gaudium. Amen.
TRANSLATION,
Holy Spirit ! Lord of light !
From Thy clear celestial height,
Thy pure beaming radiance give:
From Thy clear celestial height,
Thy pure beaming radiance give:
Come, Thou Father of the poor !
Come, with treasures which endure !
Come, Thou Light of all that live!
Come, with treasures which endure !
Come, Thou Light of all that live!
Thou, of all consolers best,
Visiting the troubled breast,
Dost refreshing peace bestow;
Visiting the troubled breast,
Dost refreshing peace bestow;
Thou in toil art comfort sweet;
Pleasant coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.
Pleasant coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.
Light immortal ! Light Divine !
Visit Thou these hearts of Thine,
And our inmost being fill :
Visit Thou these hearts of Thine,
And our inmost being fill :
If Thou take Thy grace away,
Nothing pure in man will stay;
All his good is turn'd to ill.
Nothing pure in man will stay;
All his good is turn'd to ill.
Heal our wounds—our strength renew;
On our dryness pour thy dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away :
On our dryness pour thy dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away :
Bend the stubborn heart and will ;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.
