Veni Sáncte Spíritus, Et emítte caélitus Lúcis túae rádium. |
Come, Holy Ghost, send down those beams, / Which sweetly flow in silent streams / From Thy bright throne above. |

Véni páter páuperum, Véni dátor múnerum, Véni lúmen córdium. |
O, come, Thou Father of the poor, / O, come, Thou source of all our store, / Come fill our hearts with love. |

Consolátor óptime, Dúlcis hóspes ánimae, Dúlce refrigérium. |
O Thou of comforters the best, / O Thou the soul's delightful guest, / The pilgrim's sweet relief. |

In labóre réquies, In aéstu tempéries, In flétu solátium. |
Rest art Thou in our toil, most sweet / Refreshment in the noonday heat, / And solace in our grief. |

O lux beatíssima, Réple córdis íntima Tuórum fidélium. |
O blessed Light of Life Thou art, / Fill with Thy Light the inmost hearts / Of those that hope in Thee. |

Sine túo númine, Nihil est in hómine, Nihil est innóxium. |
Without Thy Godhead nothing can / Have any price or worth in man, / Nothing can harmless be. |

Láva quod est sórdidum, Ríga quod est áridum, Sána quod est sáucium. |
Lord, wash our sinful stains away, / Water from heaven our barren clay, / Our wounds and bruises heal. |
| 8 |
Flécte quod est rígidum, Fóve quod est frígidum, Rége quod est dévium. |
To Thy sweet yoke our stiff necks bow, / Warm with Thy love our hearts of snow, / Our wandering feet recall. |

Da túis fidélibus, In te confidéntibus, Sácrum septenárium. |
Grant to Thy faithful, dearest Lord, / Whose only hope is in Thy Word, / Thy sevenfold gift of grace. |
| 10 |
Da virtútis méritum, Da salútis éxitum, Da perénne gáudium. |
Grant us in life Thy grace, that we / In peace may die and ever be / In joy before Thy face. |
