Holy Spirit! Lord of Light! From Your clear celestial height, Your pure beaming radiance give!
Come. Father of the poor. Come, treasures which endure; Come, Light of all that live!
Thou, of all consolers best, 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.
Light immortal! Light Divine! 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.
Heal our wounds–our strength renews; 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!
Thou, on those who evermore Thee confess and Thee Adore, in Thy sevenfold gift, Descend; Give them Comfort when they die; Give them Life with Thee on high; Give them joys which never end. Amen
