Kontakion 1
Come ye faithful to celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit. From the bosom of the Father He has been poured out upon the Apostles, He has covered all the earth with the knowledge of God, He has rendered worthy of the vivifying grace of adoption and of the heavenly glory, those who hasten to Him with a pure heart for He hallows and renders divine those who cry out:
Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, come and dwell in us!

Stanza 1
The bright choirs of the Apostles unceasingly sing in heaven the glory of the Holy Spirit, source of life and of immaterial glory. We also glorify Thee with them, Spirit of goodness, for all thy favours manifest and hidden, and humbly we beseech Thee to cover us with Thy blessed shadow:

Come, true light and joy of the soul.
Come, cloud bringing dew and inexpressible beauty.
Come to accept our praise as fragrant incense.
Come, spirit of truth, which the world cannot receive.
Come to make us taste the happiness of Thine outpouring.
Come to gladden us with the abundance of Thy gifts.
Come eternal sun and without setting to establish Thine abode in us.
Holy Spirit Paraclete, come and dwell in us.
