Text[]

Typical English version:

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.
Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created.
And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray.
O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of Thy faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit,
grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever to rejoice in His consolation,
through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Or in Latin:

Veni Sancte Spiritus, reple tuórum corda fidélium et tui amóris in eis ignem accénde.
Emítte Spíritum tuum, et creabúntur.
Et renovábis fáciem terræ.
Orémus.
Deus, qui corda fidélium Sancti Spíritus illustratióne docuísti,
da nobis in eódem Spíritu recta sápere, et de eius semper consolatióne gaudére,
per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.

Lutheran use[]

The prayer sees regular use as a canticle in the Nordic Lutheran Church of Sweden. Though rarely sung in regular worship, it is a standard part of the opening of clerical synods and during ordinations of priests,[3] usually during the final rite, the vesting, after the newly ordained priests have completed their vows. In such cases, it is usually sung first in the Latin original, followed by the Swedish translation.[4]
