Latin text
Iam christus astra ascenderat
Regressus unde venerat
Promissum patris munere
Sanctum daturus spiritum.
Solemnis urgebat dies,
Quo mystico septemplici
Orbis volutus septies
Signat beata tempora.
Dum hora cunctis tertia
Repente mundus intonat,
Orantibus Apostolis
Deum venisse nuntiat.
De Patris ergo lumine
Decorus ignis almus est,
Qui fida Christi pectora
Calore Verbi compleat.
Dudum sacrata pectora
Tua replesti gratia:
Dimitte nostra crimina,
Et da quieta tempora.
Sit laus Patri cum Filio
Sancto simul Paraclito,
Nobisque mittat Filius
Carisma Sancti Spiritus. Amen.
English translation
Christ had already ascended to heaven,
returning from where he had come,
to bestow, as the Father had promised,
the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The appointed day was fast approaching,
the mystical seventh day
on which the cycle of the week had come round seven times,
marking a blessed occasion.
At the third hour in everyone’s hearing
the world suddenly re-echoed with thunder,
announcing to the Apostles as they prayed
that God had come.
And so from the light of the Father
came forth a fiery heat both beautiful and revitalising,
which filled hearts believing in Christ
with the glowing fervour of the word.
As then in the past
you filled reverent hearts with your grace,
so now forgive our sings
and grant an age of peace.
Praise be to the Father and to the Son
and the Holy Spirit,
and may the Son send us
the grace of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
