Pentecost Sequence to the Holy Spirit

Come O Spirit from on High
Shine upon our inward eye
Pierce the Blindness of our sight  

Come O Father of the poor
Come with treasures which endure
Come O light of all that lives  

Come Consoler, Spirit blessed
Troubled soul’s most welcomed guest
Sweet refreshment, sweet repose  

Restful ease in toil and stress
Pleasant coolness in the heat
Consolation in our woes  

Light of light in darkness shine
Flood our hearts with light Divine
Burn within us living Fire  

If You do not light our way
All our steps will go astray
Sinful man with grace inspire  

Heal our wounds, our strength renew
On our dryness pour your dew
Wash the stains of sin away  

Bend the stubborn heart and will
Melt the frozen, warm the chill
Guide the steps that go astray  

To your people teach your love
All our hope is from above
With your sevenfold gifts descend  

Give us virtues sure reward
Give us your salvation Lord
Give us Joy  that never ends.  Amen.  Alleluia!
