Come Holy Ghost

Come, Holy Ghost,
send forth the heavenly
radiance of thy light.
 
Come, father of the poor,
come, giver of gifts,
come, light of the heart.
 
Greatest comforter,
sweet guest of the soul,
sweet consolation.
 
In labor, rest,
in heat, temperance,
in tears, solace.
 
O most blessed light,
fill the inmost heart
of thy faithful.
 
Without thy grace,
there is nothing in us,
nothing that is not harmful.
 
Cleanse that which is unclean,
water that which is dry,
heal that which is wounded.
 
Bend that which is inflexible,
fire that which is chilled,
correct what goes astray.
 
Give to thy faithful,
those who trust in thee,
the sevenfold gifts.
 
Grant the reward of virtue,
grant the deliverance of salvation,
grant eternal joy.
 
Amen, alleluia
