| Spirit blest, who art adored With the Father and the Word, One eternal God and Lord; Hear us, Holy Spirit. | | Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, Dew descending from above, Breath of life, and fire of love; Hear us, Holy Spirit. | | Thou by whom the Virgin bore Him whom heaven and earth adore, Sent our nature to restore; Hear us, Holy Spirit. | | Thou whom Jesus, from his throne, Gave to cheer and help his own, That they might not be alone; Hear us, Holy Spirit. | | Thou whose sound apostles heard, Thou whose power their spirit stirred, Giving them thy living Word; Hear us, Holy Spirit. | | Thou whose grace the Church doth fill, Showing her God's perfect will, Making Jesus present still; Hear us, Holy Spirit. | | All thy sevenfold gifts bestow, Gifts of wisdom God to know, Gifts of strength to meet the foe; Hear us, Holy Spirit. | | All our evil passions kill, Bend aright our stubborn will; Though we grieve thee, patient still; Hear us, Holy Spirit. | | Come to raise us when we fall, And when snares our souls enthrall, Lead us back with gentle call; Hear us, Holy Spirit. | | Come to strengthen all the weak, Give thy courage to the meek, Teach our faltering tongues to speak; Hear us, Holy Spirit. | | Come to aid the souls who yearn More of truth divine to learn, And with deeper love to burn; Hear us, Holy Spirit. | | Keep us in the narrow way, Warn us when we go astray, Plead within us when we pray; Hear us, Holy Spirit. | | Holy, loving, as thou art, Come, and live within our heart; Nevermore from us depart; Hear us, Holy Spirit. | |
