Link to musicHappy Pentecost! Veni Creator Spiritus is one of the most popular, widely used hymns to the Holy Spirit in the Church. It has been translated into a number of English hymns (Come Holy Ghost, Creator Blest; Creator Spirit, by Whose Aid, to name a few). Today, we'll learn the original Gregorian Chant -- of course! And be sure to sing this one on Pentecost to get a Plenary Indulgence -- all the other usual requirements for the indulgence still apply. Let's get some souls out of Purgatory this Pentecost!Come Creator Spirit, visit the souls of Thy people, fill with grace from on high the hearts which Thou hast created.Thou Who art called the Comforter, gift of the most high God, living fountain, fire, love and unction of souls.Sevenfold in Thy gifts, finger of the Father’s right hand, Thou promised truly by the Father, giving speech to tongues.Inflame our senses with Thy light, pour Thy love into our hearts, strengthen our weak bodies with lasting power.Drive far away the enemy, grant peace at all times: so under Thy guidance may we avoid all evil.Grant us by Thee to know the Father and to know the Son, and Thee, Spirit of both, may we always believe.To God the Father be glory, to the Son Who rose from the dead and to the Comforter, for all ages. Amen.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 corporisvirtute firmans perpeti.Hostem repellas longiuspacemque dones protinus;ductore sic te praeviovitemus omne noxium.Per te sciamus da Patremnoscamus atque Filium,te utriusque Spiritumcredamus omni tempore.Deo Patri sit gloria,et Filio qui a mortuissurrexit, ac Paraclito,in saeculorum saecula.
