Veni sancte Spiritus:
Reple tuorum corda fidelium:
et tui amoris in eis ignem accende.

qui per diversitatem linguarum cunctarum
gentes in unitate fidei congregasti.
Alleluia.

Come Holy Spirit:
fill the hearts of your faithful,
and kindle your love in them.

You, who through the diversity of many tongues,
have gathered the nations together in the unity of faith.
Alleluia.

Komm, o Herr Gott, Heilger Geist
erfüll die Herzen deiner Geistgläubigen
und entzünd in ihnen das Feuer deiner Liebe rein,

der du durch Manchfaltigkeit der Zungen allzumal
die Völker in Einigkeit des Glauben versammlet hast.

provided in Veni, Sancte Spiritus (David Sulcius).
