Italian text

Spirito santo, Amore
Consolator interno
di quel lume superno,
Signor illustra il tenebroso core.

O raggio procedente,
da le due eterne stelle,
o stella permanente
trina ed una con quelle
di tre sante facelle
accendi l’alma mia
sicch’io veda la via
che voglia e possa uscir
dal tetro horrore.
