mentes tuorum visita,
imple superna gratia
quae tu creasti pectora.
altissimi donum Dei,
fons vivus, ignis, caritas,
et spiritalis unctio.
digitus paternae dexterae,
Tu rite promissum Patris,
sermone ditans guttura.
infunde amorem cordibus:
infirma nostri corporis
virtute firmans perpeti.
pacemque dones protinus:
ductore sic te praevio
vitemus omne noxium.
noscamus atque Filium;
Teque utriusque Spiritum
credamus omni tempore.
et Filio, qui a mortuis
surrexit, ac Paraclito,
in saeculorum saecula.
Amen.
and in our souls take up Thy rest;
come with Thy grace and heavenly aid
to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
O heavenly gift of God Most High,
O fount of life and fire of love,
and sweet anointing from above.
Thou, finger of God's hand we own;
Thou, promise of the Father, Thou
Who dost the tongue with power imbue.
and make our hearts o'erflow with love;
with patience firm and virtue high
the weakness of our flesh supply.
and grant us Thy peace instead;
so shall we not, with Thee for guide,
turn from the path of life aside.
the Father and the Son to know;
and Thee, through endless times confessed,
of both the eternal Spirit blest.
Who rose from death, be glory given,
with Thou, O Holy Comforter,
henceforth by all in earth and heaven.
Amen.
