English text

Come, Thou Holy Spirit, Come,

And from Thy celestial home

Shed a ray of light Divine,

Halelujah, Halelujah, Halelujah !

Come, Thou Father of the poor,

Come, Thou source of all our store,

Come within our bosoms shine,

Halelujah, Halelujah, Halelujah !

Thou of Comforters the best,

Thou the soul's most welcome guest,

Sweet refreshment here below,

Halelujah, Halelujah, Halelujah !

In our labor rest most sweet,

Grateful coolness in the heat,

Solace in the midst of woe.

Halelujah, Halelujah, Halelujah !

Fill the faithful who adore,

And confess Thee evermore,

In Thy sevenfold gifts descend,

Halelujah, Halelujah, Halelujah !

Give them virtue's sure reward,

Give them Thy salvation, Lord,

And them joys that never end,

Halelujah, Halelujah, Halelujah !

Amen.
