Representative Text

1 Manda tu Espíritu, Señor,
sobre los siervos* dal altar;
dales tu santa bendición,
llénalos de tu santidad.

2 Que al enseñar al pueblo fiel,

con santo celo y caridad.

3 Dales, Señor, saber, virtud,
dulzura, sin debilidad;

5 Y al terminar tan gran labor,
mueran gozosos en tu paz;
de ti reciban, oh Señor,
bella corona celestial.

*las siervas
