Veni Creator Spiritus

Veni Creator Spiritus (Latin: Come, Creator Spirit) is a traditional Christianhymn believed to have been written by Rabanus Maurus, a ninth-century FrankishBenedictine monk, teacher, archbishop, and saint. When the original Latin text is used, it is normally sung to a Gregorian Chant tune first known from Kempten Abbey around the year 1000. The hymn has been translated and paraphrased into several languages, and adapted into many musical forms, often as a hymn for Pentecost or for other occasions that focus on the Holy Spirit.
