Lyrics: Anon

Domine Jesu Christe, pastor bone, seminator casti consilii,
suscipe seminum fructus quos in Cæcilia seminasti:
Cæcilia famula tua quasi apis tibi argumentosa deservit.
Nam sponsum, quem quasi leonem ferocem accepit,
ad te quasi agnum mansuetissimum destinavit.

O Lord Jesus Christ, good shepherd, author of ethical advice,
gather in the fruits of the seed which you planted in Cecilia:
Cecilia, your handmaid, served you diligently, as an hive of bees.
For she accepted a bridegroom who was as a fierce lion,
Yet gave him up to you as the tamest of lambs.
