The HYMN, Veni Creator, as in p. 70. The HYMN, Veni Sancte Spiritus.

COME, Holy Ghost, send down those beams

Which sweetly flow in silent streams,
From thy bright throne above:
O come, thou Father of the poor,
Thou bounteous source of all our store,
Come, fire our hearts with love.
Come thou of comforters the best,
Come thou the soul's delicious guest,
The pilgrim's sweet relief;
Thou art our rest in toil and sweat,
Refreshment in excessive heat,
And comfort in our grief.
Qosacred light shoot home thy darts,
O pierce the centre of those hearts,
Whose faith aspires to thee:
Without thy Godhead, nothing can
Have any worth, or price in man,
Nothing can harmless be.

Lord wash our sinful stains away;

Water from heaven our barren clay;
Our wounds and bruises heal:

To thy sweet yoke our stiff necks bow;
Warm with thy fire our hearts of snow;
Our wandering feet repeal.

O grant thy faithful, dearest Lord,
Whose only hope is thy sure word,
The seven gifts of thy Spirit:
Grant us in life to obey thy grace;
Grant us in death to see thy face,
And endless joys inherit. Amen.

V. Send forth thy Spirit, and they shall be created. R. And thou shalt renew the face of the earth. V. O Lord, hear my prayer. R. And let my supplication come to thee.
