(The Golden Sequence, Opiate Mass)

Come Holy Spirit,
Come Light of Our Hearts,
Come Giver of Gifts,
Enter our Heart.

Cleanse all that is filthy,
Water all that is parched,
Straighten all that is crooked,
Redeem all that’s defiled.
Mend all who are proud,
Heal all who welcome it.

And give grace to the trusting,
Virtue it’s reward,
Joy to the morning,
Faith like a child,
Safety in the end,
Lasting peace within.

//

Come, holy Ghost, and bring from above The splendor of thy light.
Come, father of the poor, come, giver of graces, Come, light of our hearts.
Best of consolers, sweet guest of the soul, And comfort of the weary.
Thou rest in labor, relief in burning toil, Consoling us in sorrow.
O blessed light, fill the innermost hearts Of those who trust in thee.
Without thy indwelling there is nothing in man, And nothing free of sin.
Cleanse what is sordid, give water in dryness, And heal the bleeding wounds.
Bend what is proud, make warm what is cold, Bring back the wayward soul.
Give to the faithful who trustingly beg thee Thy seven holy gifts.
Grant virtue’s reward, salvation in death, And everlasting joy. Amen. Alleluia.
