Pentecost Sequence
translated by Irene Nowell,
OSB, Mount St. Scholastica.Come, Holy Spirit,
And send out from heaven
Your radiant light.
Come, father of the poor,
Come, giver of gifts,
Come, light of our hearts.
Best consoler,
Sweet guest of the soul,
Sweetness of cool refreshment.
Rest in labour,
Relief in heat,
Consolation in weeping.
O most blessed light,
Fill the centre of the hearts
Of your faithful.
Without your divine power,
There is nothing in humans,
Nothing is innocent.
Wash what is soiled,
Water what is dry,
Heal what is wounded.
Bend what is rigid,
Warm what is chilled,
Guide what is astray.
Give to your faithful,
Who trust in you,
The seven sacred gifts.
Give the reward of virtue,
Give the goal of salvation,
Give eternal joy.
Amen. Alleluia.
