Text

Veni, Creator Spiritus,
mentes tuorum visita,
imple superna gratia
quae tu creasti pectora.

Gloria Patri et Filio,
Natoque qui a mortuis
surrexit, ac Paraclito,
in saeculorum saecula.
Amen.
attr. Rabanus Maurus

Translation:

Come, Creator Spirit,
visit the minds of your own people,
fill with grace from above
the hearts that you have created.

Glory be to the Father and also to the Son,
begotten, who from the dead
has risen, and to the Comforter Holy Spirit,
for ages upon ages.
Amen.
trans. Anne Groton
