Creator Spirit (Veni Creator Spiritus) is a new hymn by Graham Kendrick written and recorded during the Covid-19 lockdown period in the UK.
The verse words are inspired by a ninth-century Latin hymn text "Veni, Creator Spiritus".
It's a song for Pentecost but relevant at any time of the year, seeking the blessings of the Holy Spirit.
This recording is a demo featuring Bethan Walker and Graham on vocals, recorded and arranged by Mark Edwards in May 2020.
Words:
Creator Spirit, by whose aid
The world's foundations first were laid,
Come, visit every humble mind;
Come, pour Your joys on humankind;
From sin and sorrow set us free;
May we Your living temples be.
Source of uncreated light,
Spirit of grace, of truth, of life
Thrice holy fount, thrice holy fire,
Our hearts with heav'nly love inspire;
Your sacred pow’r and comfort bring
To sanctify us as we sing.
All glory to God the Three-in-One
To the Father, the Spirit with the Son
All glory, Alleluia
All glory, Alleluia
Giver of grace, descend from high;
Your sev'nfold gifts to us supply;
Make us eternal truths receive
And practice all that we believe;
Give us Yourself that we may see
The glory of the Trinity
All glory to God the Three-in-One
To the Father, the Spirit with the Son
All glory, Alleluia
All glory, Alleluia
All glory to God the Three-in-One
Who is and was and is to come
All glory to You, Amen
All glory to You, Amen
Rabanus Maurus, John Dryden, Graham Kendrick
