See Komm, Gott Schöpfer

Italian.png Italian text

Discendi Santo Spirito,
le nostre menti illumina
Del ciel la grazia accordaci
Tu creator degli uomini.

Chiamato sei Paraclito
e dono dell’Altissimo,
Sorgente limpidissima,
d’amore fiamma vivida.

Isette doni mandaci
onnipotente Spirito;
le nostre labbra trepide
in te sapienza attingano.

I nostri sensi illumina,
Fervor nei cuori infondici,
Rinvigorisci l’anima
nei nostri corpi deboli.

Il Padre tu rivelaci
e il figlio unigenito;
per sempre tutti credano
in Te divino Spirito.

Dal male Tu libera;
Serena pace affrettaci:
Con Te vogliamo vincere
Ogni mortal pericolo.
