Veni Creator Spiritus,
Mentes tuorum visita:
Imple superna gratia
Quae tu creasti pectora.
Qui diceris Paraclitus,
Altissimi donum Dei,
Fons vivus, ignis, caritas,
Et spiritalis unctio.
Tu septiformis munere,
Digitus paternae dexterae,
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,
Teque utriusque Spiritum
Credamus omni tempore.
Deo Patri sit gloria,
Et Filio, qui a mortuis
Surrexit, ac Paraclito,
In saeculorum saecula.
Amen.

<poem>
Come, Creator Spirit,
Visit the souls of your own:
Fill with celestial grace
The breasts that you created.
You are called Comforter,
Gift of the highest God,
Living fountain, fire, love,
And an anointing of spirit.
You are sevenfold in offering,
Finger of the paternal right hand,
You are a fitting promise by the Father,
Enriching throats with speech.
Light the lamp for our minds,
Infuse love into our hearts,
The weaknesses of the flesh
Strengthening with perpetual power.
May you drive off the enemy further,
And bestow lasting peace:
With you going ahead as leader,
May we shun every evil.
Through you let us know the Father,
And come to know even the Son,
And you the Spirit of both
May we believe for all time.
To God the Father be glory,
And to the Son, who from the dead
Arose, and to the Comforter,
For ages upon ages.
Amen.
