Translation of the Pentecost Sequence
by Sister Irene Nowell, OSB
| Veni Sancte Spiritus, Et emitte caelitus Lucis tuae radium |
Come, Holy Spirit, And send out from heaven Your radiant light. |
|
| Veni pater pauperum, Veni dator munerum, Veni lumen cordium. |
Come, father of the poor, Come, giver of gifts, Come, light of our hearts. |
|
| Consolator optime, Dulcis hospes animae, Dulce refrigerium. |
Best consoler, Sweet guest of the soul, Sweetness of cool refreshment. |
|
| In labore requies, In aestu temperies, In fletu solatium. |
Rest in labor, Relief in heat, Consolation in weeping. |
|
| O lux beatissima, Reple cordis intima Tuorum fidelium. |
O most blessed light, Fill the center of the hearts Of your faithful. |
|
| Sine tuo numine, Nihil est in homine, Nihil est innoxium. |
Without your divine power, There is nothing in humans, Nothing is innocent. |
|
| Lava quod est sordidum, Riga quod est aridum, Sana quod est saucium. |
Wash what is soiled, Water what is dry, Heal what is wounded. |
|
| Flecte quod est rigidum, Fove quod est frigidum, Rege quod est devium. |
Bend what is rigid, Warm what is chilled, Guide what is astray. |
|
| Da tuis fidelibus, In te confidentibus, Sacrum septenarium. |
Give to your faithful, Who trust in you, The seven sacred gifts. |
|
| Da virtutis meritum, Da salutis exitum, Da perenne gaudium. |
Give the reward of virtue, Give the goal of salvation, Give eternal joy. |
|
| Amen. Alleluia. | Amen. Alleluia. |
