1 Ven a nuestras almas,
Paracleto Santo;
Tráenos desde el cielo
De tu luz un rayo.

2 ¡Fuente de consuelo,
Dulce y soberano
Huésped de las almas,
Celestial regalo!

3 La divina llama
Prende en el cristiano,
Y su pecho llena
Del amor sagrado.

4 Con tus aguas puras
Limpia lo manchado;
Riega lo que es seco;
Haz lo enfermo sano.

5 A tus fieles todos
Sólo en Ti confiados,
Dales paz que abunde
Y el reposo ansiado.

6 Dales de tu gracia
El favor preclaro,
La salud eterna,
Gozo continuado.
