Symphony no. 8 in E-flat major “Symphony of a Thousand”: I. “Veni, creator spiritus”

Annotation

Veni, creator spiritus,
mentes tuorum visita;
imple superna gratia,
quae tu creasti pectora.

Qui Paraclitus diceris,
donum Dei altissimi,
fons vivus, ignis, caritas,
et spiritalis unctio.

Infirma nostri corporis
virtute firmans perpeti;
accende lumen sensibus,
infunde amorem cordibus.

Hostem repellas longius,
pacemque dones protinus;
ductore sic te praevio
vitemus omne pessimum.

Tu septiformis munere,
dexterae paternae digitus;
Per te sciamus da Patrem,
noscamus Filium, spiritum
credamus omni tempore.

Da gaudiorum praemia,
dexterae paternae digitus;
da gratiarum munera;
dissolve litis vincula,
adstringe pacis foedera.

Gloria Patri Domino,
dexterae paternae digitus;
Deo sit gloria et Filio
natoque, qui a mortuis
surrexit, ac Paraclito
in saeculorum saecula.
