To God the Father let us raise

Praise to the Holy Spirit be

PENTECOST
Spirit of Grace and Union
Qui procedis ab utroque
Adam of St. Victor
Nicola A. Montani
Moderato
1.
Spirit of grace and Union!
Who from the Father and the Son
Dost equally proceed.
Inflame our hearts with holy fire
Our lips with eloquence inspire,
And strengthen us in need.
2.
The Father and the Son through Thee
Are linked in perfect unity
And everlasting love;
Ineffably Thou dost pervade
All nature; and Thyself unsway'd
The whole creation move.
3.
O inexhaustive Fount of light!
How doth Thy radiance put to flight
The darkness of the mind!
The pure are only pure through Thee;
Thou only dost the guilty free,
And cheer with light the blind.
4.
Lord of all sanctity and might!
Immense, immortal, infinite!
The life of earth and Heav'n!
Be, through eternal length of days,
All honor, glory, blessing, praise,
And adoration giv'n!

THE HOLY TRINITY
O God of loveliness
O bello Dio, Signor del Paradiso
Translated by Rev. E. Vaughan, C. SS. R.
Traditional Melody "Schonster Herr Jesu"
Pilgrims' Song dating from the time of the Crusades.
Adapted by N. A. M.
Andante Maestoso
1.
O God of loveliness, O Lord of Heav'n above
How worthy to posses My heart's devoted love!
So sweet Thy Countenance, So gracious to behold,
That one, one only glance To me were bliss untold.
2.
Thou art blest Three in One, Yet undivided still;
Thou art that One alone Whose love my heart can fill.
The heav'ns and earth below, Were fashioned by Thy Word;
How amiable art Thou, My ever dearest Lord!
3.
To think Thou art my God, O thought forever blest!
My heart has overflowed With joy within my breast.
My soul so full of bliss Is plunged as in a sea,
Deep in the sweet abyss of holy charity.
4.
O loveliness supreme, And Beauty infinite;
O everflowing Stream, And Ocean of delight;
O life by which I live, My truest life above,
To Thee alone I give My undivided love.
