Thomas Attwood - Come, Holy Ghost - текст песни (слова), перевод

John Cosin's English translation of Veni Creator Spiritus is given below; others may be found on the textpage:
 
 Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, 
 And lighten with celestial fire; 
 Thou the anointing Spirit art, 
 Who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart: 
 
 Thy blessed unction from above 
 Is comfort, life and fire of love; 
 Enable with perpetual light 
 The dullness of our blinded sight: 
 
 Anoint and cheer our soiled face 
 With the abundance of thy grace: 
 Keep far our foes, give peace at home; 
 Where thou art guide no ill can come. 
 
 Teach us to know the Father, Son, 
 And Thee, of Both, to be but One; 
 That through the agea all along 
 This may be our endless song, 
 
 Praise to thy eternal merit, 
 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
