Pentecost Sunday

Copied below is the SEQUENCE section for Pentecost Sunday [1]:

1.  Come, Thou Holy Ghost, come,

And from Thy celestial home.  Shed

a ray of light divine.

2.  Come, Thou Father of the poor,

Come, Thou source of all our store,

Come, within our bosoms shine.

3.  Thou of Comforters the best,

Thou the soul's delightful guest,

Sweet refreshment here below.

4.  In our labor rest most sweet,

Pleasant coolness in the heat,  Solace

in the midst of woe.

5.  O most blessed Light divine,  Shine

within these hearts of Thine,  And

our inmost being fill.

6.  Where Thou art not, man hath

nought,  Nothing good in deed or

thought,  Nothing free from taint of 

ill.

7.  Heal our wounds, our strength re-

new,  On our dryness pour Thy dew,

Wash the stains of guilt away.

8.  Bend the stubborn heart and will,

Melt the frozen, warm the chill,

Guide the steps that go astray.

9.  On Thy faithful who adore,  And

confess Thee evermore,  In thy 

sevenfold gifts descend. [2]

10.  Give them virtue's sure reward,

Give them They salvation, Lord,  Give

them joys that never end.

Amen. Alleluia.
