The hymn is composed of four movements, each of which is characterized by its own unique melody and rhythm. The first movement is a call to the Holy Spirit to come and inspire the souls of the faithful. The second movement is a prayer for the Holy Spirit to fill the hearts of the faithful with love and joy. The third movement is a plea for the Holy Spirit to guide the faithful in their daily lives, and the fourth movement is a declaration of faith in the Holy Spirit's power and presence. The hymn is known for its simple yet powerful lyrics, which express the deep longing of the faithful for the Holy Spirit's presence in their lives.
