by St. Thomas Aquinas (1225? - 1274)

O quam suavis est, Domine, spiritus tuus
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
O quam suavis est, Domine, spiritus tuus,
qui ut dulcedinem tuam in filios demonstrares
pane suavissimo de caelo praestito,
esurientes reples bonis,
fastidiosos divites dimittens inanes.
