Happy Pentecost!
This is one of the beautiful stain glass windows that can be found at Saint Barnabas. Please pray for us, as we will need to raise significant funds soon for maintenance - these are the work of C. E Kempe and Co. and are as old as the building itself!
The "Veni Creator Spritus"
Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
and lighten with celestial fire;
thou the anointing Spirit art,
who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart:
Thy blessèd unction from above
is comfort, life, and fire of love;
enable with perpetual light
the dullness of our blinded sight:
Anoint and cheer our soiled face
with the abundance of thy grace:
keep far our foes, give peace at home;
where thou art guide no ill can come.
Teach us to know the Father, Son,
and thee, of both, to be but One;
that through the ages all along
this may be our endless song,
Praise to thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
