  1. These selections are for the Pentecost Vigil liturgy that we will be following, so no sequence before the gospel acclamation. Instead, the sequence (a wonderful text) is being used as a hymn for the procession of gifts. The translation of Veni Creator Spiritus we are singing for communion (to the traditional VENI CREATOR chant) is a contemporary translation that much better fits the stresses in the chant melody than the other translations I am familiar with, probably because they were designed for hymn tunes.

    Entrance (CWB2:381): Come Down, O Love Divine {Littledale / DOWN AMPNEY]
    Gifts (CWB2:379): Holy Spirit, Lord Divine [Scagnelli / WEBBE]
    Communion (H26:277): Come, Creator! Come, Spirit Blessed [Alstott / VENI CREATOR]
    Recessional (CWB2:385): Filled with the Spirit’s Power, with One Accord [Peacey / WOODLANDS]

    The communion song is in OCP missals (H26 = Heritage Missal, 2026-29), and the melody line edition can be downloaded from OneLicense.
