Hymnus
Nunc, Sancte, nobis, Spíritus,
Unum Patri cum Fílio,
Dignáre promptus íngeri
Nostro refúsus péctori.
Os, lingua, mens, sensus, vigor
Confessiónem pérsonent.
Flamméscat igne cáritas,
Accéndat ardor próximos.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Now, Holy Spirit, for us,
One with the Father and the Son,
Deign readily to enter,
Poured into our hearts.
May mouth, tongue, mind, senses, strength
Resound with confession.
May charity blaze with fire,
May its ardor kindle our neighbors.
Grant this, most loving Father,
And you, the Only-Begotten, equal to the Father,
With the Spirit the Paraclete,
Reigning through every age.
Amen.
