Nunc sancte nobis Spiritus
Translated by Edward Caswall (1849) · From Lyra Catholica (1849)
Come, Holy Ghost, and through each heart
In thy full flood of glory pour;
Who, with the Son and Father, art
One Godhead blest for evermore.
So shall voice, mind, and strength conspire
Thy praise eternal to resound;
So shall our hearts be set on fire,
And kindle every heart around.
Father of mercies! hear our cry;
Hear us, O sole-begotten Son!
Who, with the Holy Ghost most high,
Reignest while endless ages run.
