Ostinato Refrain:
Holy Spirit, come to us,
kindle in us the fire of your love.
Holy Spirit, come to us,
Holy Spirit come to us.

Ven, Espíritu de Dios,
y de tu amor enciende la llama.
Ven, Espíritu de amor,
ven, Espíritu de amor.

Veni Sancte Spiritus,
tui amoris ignem accende.
Veni Sancte Spiritus,
tui amoris ignem accende.

1 Jesus said, "I give you a new commandment:
Love one another just as I have loved you." [Refrain]

2 Jesus said, "It is by your love for one another,
that ev'ry one will recognize you as my disciples." [Refrain]

3 Jesus said, "No one has greater love than this:
to lay down one's life for those one loves." [Refrain]

4 We know love by this,
that Christ laid down his life for us. [Refrain]

5 This is love: it is not we who have loved God
but God who loved us. [Refrain]

6 God is love, and those who abide in love
abide in God and God in them. [Refrain]
