Page 518 PENTECOST
Veni Sancte Spiritus
12th century

This literal translation was created by Fr. Adrian Fortescue.
In addition to providing the Latin version with accent marks, the Saint Jean de Brébeuf Hymnal commissioned English translations from Latin scholars to help congregations appreciate these ancient prayers. Until the Brébeuf Hymnal appeared in 2018, literal translations for many of these hymns had never been made.
