Thy blessed unction from above Is comfort, life, and fire of love; Enable with perpetual light The dullness of our blinded sight.
Anoint and cheer our soiled face With the abundance of thy grace: Keep far our foes, give peace at home; Where thou art guide no ill can come.
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: Praise to thy eternal merit, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
VENI, Creator Spiritus, Mentes tuorum visita, Imple superna gratia Quae tu creasti pectora.
Qui diceris Paraclitus, Donum Dei altissimi, Fons vivus, ignis, caritas, Et spiritalis unctio.
Tu septiformis munere, Dextrae Dei Tu digitus, Tu rite promissum Patris, Sermone ditans guttura.
Accende lumen sensibus, Infunde amorem cordibus, Infirma nostri corporis Virtute firmans perpeti.
Hostem repellas longius, Pacemque dones protinus, Ductore sic te praevio Vitemus omne noxium.
Per te sciamus, da, Patrem, Noscamus atque Filium, Te utriusque Spiritum Credamus omni tempore.
Deo Patri sit gloria, et Filio, qui a mortuis surrexit, ac Paraclito, in sæculorum sæcula. Amen.
