Veni Creator Spiritus Hymn (Latin/English) and chant by Schola Gregoriana Mediolanensis:
Veni, Creator Spiritus |
One of the most widely used hymns in the Church, Veni, Creator Spiritus, is attributed to Rabanus Maurus (776-856). It is used at Vespers, Pentecost, Dedication of a Church, Confirmation, and Holy Orders and whenever the Holy Spirit is solemnly invoked. A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who recite it. A plenary indulgence is granted if it is recited on January 1st or on the feast of Pentecost. |
VENI, Creator Spiritus, |
COME, Holy Spirit, Creator blest, |
Qui diceris Paraclitus, |
O comforter, to Thee we cry, |
Tu, septiformis munere, |
Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts are known; |
Accende lumen sensibus: |
Kindle our sense from above, |
Hostem repellas longius, |
Far from us drive the foe we dread, |
Per te sciamus da Patrem, |
Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow |
Deo Patri sit gloria, |
Now to the Father and the Son, |
