O living flame of love
That tenderly wounds my soul
In its deepest centre!
O sweet cautery,
O delightful wound!
O gentle hand!

Living flame
Flame of love
Delightful wound
Gentle hand
Living flame
O living flame of love
That tenderly wounds my soul.

Qui diceris Paraclitus,
donum Dei altissimi
fons vivus, ignis caritas et spiritalis unctio.
Accende lumen sensibus,
Infunde amorem cordibus,
Infirma nostri corporis virtute firmans perpeti.

O living flame of love
That tenderly wounds my soul
In its deepest centre!
O sweet cautery,
O delightful wound!
O gentle hand!
O living flame of love,
You changed death to life.

Igne vel igne.
Spiritum nolite extinguere.
