F. C. Kolbe - Veni, Creator lyrics

Creator Spirit, Lord of life and light, Under Thy brooding care the world began. Through Thee the elements together ran And built up order from the void of night. Through Thee life, darkling, struggled into sight; Then, adding power to power, placed in the van A being, soul-endowed, Thy creature man, Lifted by Thee beyond all earthly height. O Love, who through this elemental strife Didst bring a universe to such increase, Brood o'er the chaos of my sin-fraught soul. Let there be light in me: let order, life, Reason and grace resume their sway, and peace Subdue my little world from pole to pole.
