By Sr. Fidelis<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the most beloved prayers to the Holy Spirit was most likely penned in the early 1200’s by Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury.<\/p>\n

This chant Sequence is sung directly following the Alleluia for Pentecost, in preparation for the proclamation of the Gospel. It is known as T<\/em>he Golden Sequence. <\/i>Listen to this glorious chant, and you’ll know why! The tune extends over a nine-note range, giving an expansive and joyous sense to this wonderful prayer.<\/p>\n

Come Holy Spirit, send forth the heavenly radiance of your light.
\n<\/em>Come, father of the poor, come, giver of gifts, come light of the heart.
\n<\/em>Greatest comforter, sweet guest of the soul, sweet consolation.
\n<\/em>In labor, rest, in heat, temperance, in tears, solace.
\n<\/em>O most blessed light, fill the inmost heart of your faithful.
\n<\/em>Without your grace, there is nothing in us, nothing that is not harmful.
\n<\/em>Cleanse that which is unclean, water that which is dry, heal that which is wounded.
\n<\/em>Bend that which is inflexible, fire that which is chilled, correct what goes astray.
\n<\/em>Give to your faithful, \u00a0those who trust in you, the sevenfold gifts.
\n<\/em>Grant the reward of virtue, grant the deliverance of salvation, grant eternal joy.
\n<\/em>Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n
