English text

1  Come, thou holy Paraclete, And from thy celestial seat Shed thy light and brilliancy. Father of the poor, draw near, Giver of all gifts, be here; Come, the soul's true radiancy. 2  Come, of comforters the best, Of the soul the sweetest guest, Come in toil refreshingly. Thou in labour, rest most sweet, Thou art shadow from the heat, Comfort in adversity.

3  O thou Light, most pure and blest, Shine within the inmost breast Of thy faithful company. Where thou art not, man hath nought; Every holy deed and thought Comes from thy divinity. 4  What is soilèd, make thou pure; What is wounded, work its cure; What is parchèd, fructify; What is rigid, gently bend; What is frozen, warmly tend; Straighten what goes erringly.

5  Fill thy faithful, who confide In thy power to guard and guide, With thy sevenfold mystery. Here, thy grace and virtue send; Grant salvation in the end, And in heaven, felicity.
