At least in the missal at our parish, there was a song sung just prior to the Gospel this weekend. I thought the name of the song was “Come Holy Spirt” but when I search for that title on youtube I get a different “Come holy Spirit”.

Can someone point me to this song? Perhaps I remember the song title incorrectly. Sure is a beautiful song.

Was it Come Holy Ghost? That is what we sung.
 
It was the sequence. It could have been in a variety of musical settings, so there is no way to know which one you heard.
 
Thanks, beautiful song but not the one I am thinking of.
It ends with a power chorus of

halle halle halle halleluja,
halle halle halle halleluja,
halle halle halle halleluja,

Does that help?

Hmm, guess I’ll have to wait till I get to the parish again and take another look at the missal.

maybe check with your parish?
 
I actually did this as a reading. I had the option to sing it, but decided that wasn’t a good idea. You’re right, it is beautiful. I’m planning on making a copy of it this coming weekend. I wish I had on Sunday.
 
I found it on a blog:
Come, Holy Spirit, come!

And from your celestial home shed a ray of light divine!

Come, Father of the poor!

Come, source of all our store! Come, within our bosoms shine.

You, of comforters the best; You, the soul’s most welcome guest;

Sweet refreshment here below; In our labor, rest most sweet; Grateful coolness in the heat; Solace in the midst of woe.

O most blessed Light divine, shine within these hearts of yours, and our inmost being fill!

Where you are not, we have naught, nothing good in deed or thought, nothing free from taint of ill.

Heal our wounds, our strength renew; on our dryness pour your dew; wash the stains of guilt away:

Bend the stubborn heart and will; melt the frozen, warm the chill; guide the steps that go astray.

On the faithful, who adore and confess you, evermore in your sevenfold gift descend;

Give them virtue’s sure reward; give them your salvation, Lord; Give them joys that never end. Amen. Alleluia.

Just curious, why wasn’t it a good idea to sing the sequence?

Since my cancer surgery I’ve lost a lot of breath control. I don’t sing very well anymore. I was asked just as I’d arrived at church and hadn’t even looked at the music to see if it was in a key I can sing. Usually it’s too high. I basically didn’t want everyone’s ears in the church to bleed.

You could always sing it recto tono, that is, on one pitch.
 
My Parish, other than the Easter sequence, skips all the rest of them. 😦

😃 As long as I got to pick the note. My voice really isn’t that bad. I just don’t have the range and breath control I used to have. I’d never try out for American Idol though.
