Text of sung verses:

Veni Creator Spiritus,
Mentes tuorum visita:
Imple superna gratia
Quae tu creasti pectora.

Qui diceris Paraclitus,
Altissimi donum Dei,
Fons vivus, ignis, caritas,
Et spiritalis unctio.

Per te sciamus da Patrem,
Noscamus atque Filium,
Teque utriusque Spiritum
Credamus omni tempore.

Deo Patri sit gloria,
Et Filio qui a mortuis
Surrexit, ac Paraclito,
In saeculorum saecula. Amen.

Come Creator Spirit,
visit the souls that are thine;
fill with heavenly grace
the hearts thou hast created.

Thou art called Paraclete,
gift of God most high,
fount of life, fire, love
and the soul's anointing.

Grant that through thee we may
know the Father and the Son;
and may ever believe thee to be
the Spirit of Father and Son.

Glory be to God the Father,
and to the Son who rose from the dead,
and to the Paraclete,
for ever and ever. Amen.

The instrument is a Viscount Jubilate 232 electronic organ, using the alternative more romantic voicing setting.
