Our translations:  CAT ENG
Komm' heil'ger Geist! erhöre unser Flehen,
Die sehnend auf zu dir, zu dir Verheißnem sehen.
Herab auf uns komm, Tröster du,
In unser Herz leg' Himmelsruh'.

O komm zu stärken unsern Glaubensmuth,
Verlaß auf unserm Pfad uns nicht,
Du Bote aus des Himmels Licht,
Und leite uns zu dem, was recht und gut!

Note: This is the text from Schubert's manuscript. The first edition of Schubert's Hymnus an den heiligen Geist, published as op. posth. 154 by Anton Diabelli in 1849, conveys a rather different text.
