If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.
John 14: 15-18
One of the most ancient hymns to the Holy Spirit echoes these words of Jesus. The promise is complete. We are not alone, no longer orphans, the Advocate has been given. This week’s playlist includes a number of settings of Jesus’ promises about the Spirit. This setting is the ancient Latin text:
|
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. Non vos relinquam orphanus; Veni Creator Spiritus, |
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. I will not leave you orphans; Come, Holy Spirit, Creator come,
