Text

Rejoice and be joyful in the Lord your God,
For He will give you a teacher of justice.
And He will make the early and the latter rain
Come down on you as in the beginning.
And the threshing floors shall be filled with wheat,
And the presses shall overflow with wine and oil.
And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel.
– Joel 2:23-24,27

How good, how sweet is your spirit within us, Lord.
– Mass liturgy

Alleluia.
Veni, creator Spiritus
(Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest,)
Mentes tuorum visita;
(And in our souls take up Thy rest;)
Imple superna gratia
(Come with Thy grace and heavenly aid)
Quae to creasti pectoral
(to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.)
– ancient hymn attributed to Rabanus Maurus (776-856)
