THE MEMORIAL OF ST. CECILIA
VIRGIN AND MARTYR
Cecilia sings for us her melody
By heaven sent through her from up above,
And we receive her words on bended knee
As she proclaims God’s truth wrapped in Christ’s love.
We sing with St. Cecilia and pray twice
As to God’s Trinity His praise we sing
To cleanse our hearts of every human vice
And in the vaults of heaven our songs ring.
Then heaven’s angels join with their own songs
The choir that St. Cecilia leads for us on earth,
And we know with the angels we belong
As music lifts creation in new birth.
For on this earth we can hear heaven’s sounds
As St. Cecilia leads and grace abounds.
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
