Come Holy Spirit Come

Paul Lisney

The melody for this prayer came to me on Pentecost Sunday, two years ago. I didn’t upload up it at the time because I wanted to sing it properly and had intended this to be a demo recording only. I was reminded of the song this morning watching Mass this morning on Pentecost Sunday, 2020. Sorry about chords not lining up once this was saved , but you can hear the chord changes fairly easily if anyone wishes to play it for themselves.

Veni, Sancte Spiritus
(Come Holy Spirit, Come)

O most blessed Light divine,

C G/B F#dim7 Em

Shine within these hearts of yours,

C C/E D/F# G D/F# Em C D

And our inmost be - ing fill!

Where you are not, we have naught,

Nothing good in deed or thought,

Nothing free from taint of ill.

Heal our wounds, our strength renew;

On our dryness pour your dew;

Wash the stains of guilt away:

Bend the stubborn heart and will;

Melt the frozen, warm the chill;

Guide the steps that go astray.

On the faithful, who adore

And confess you, evermore

In your sevenfold gift descend;

Give them virtue’s sure reward;

Give them your salvation, Lord;

Give them joys that never end.

A - men. Alle- luia. A - men Amen
