Schola Sancte Scholasticae and St. Cecilia's Abbey, UK
1. Come, Thou Holy Spirit, come! And from Thy celestrial
home
Shed a ray of light divine!
2. Come, Thou Source of all our store! Come,
within our
bosoms shine!
3. Thou, of comforters the best; Thou, the soul’s
most
welcome Guest; Sweet refreshment here below;
4. In our labor, rest most sweet; Grateful
coolness in the
heat; Solace in the midst of woe.
5. O most blessed Light divine, Shine within
these hearts
of Thine, And our inmost being fill!
6. Where Thou art not, man hath naught, Nothing
good in
deed or thought, Nothing free from taint of ill.
7. Heal our wounds; our strength renew;
On our dryness
pour Thy dew;
Wash
the stains of guilt away;
8. Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the
frozen, warm
the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.
9. On the faithful, who adore And confess Thee,
evermore
In Thy sev’nfold gift descend;
10. Give them virtue’s sure reward Give them Thy salvation,
Lord; Give them
joys that never end. Amen. Alleuia.
