Introduction

This is the translation of the Latin chant Veni Creator Spiritus (Come Spirit, Creator) for the invocation of the Holy Spirit in the Ordination rites. In the Syriac tradition of the Syro-Malabar Church it was used also as an invocation hymn at religious gatherings. The congregation sings in two halves, alternating the stanzas.

Quryēlaysōn, kristhēlaysōn, quryēlaysōn.
Come, O Holy Spirit, creator of all
And visit the minds of those who are thine.

Fill with heavenly grace
The hearts which thou created.

Because thou art called the Paraclete,
Gift of the exalted God.

Living fountain, fire, love,
And spiritual anointing.

Being given in seven modes, thou art
The finger of the right hand of the Father.

In an orderly manner thou art the promise
Of the Father who enriches by [thy] word [our] throats.

Praise be to God the Father and to his Son,
Who rose up from the dead.

And to the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete
In all the worlds for ever, amen.

Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy.
