Lyrics: Anon

Domine Jesu Christe,
seminator casti consilii,
suscipe seminum fructus
quos in Cecilia seminasti.
Dum aurora finem daret,
beata Cecilia dixit:
Eia, milites Christi,
abjicite opera tenebrarum
et induimini arma lucis.

O Lord Jesus Christ,
author of ethical advice,
gather in the fruits of the seed
which you planted in Cecilia.
As dawn came to an end,
blessed Cecilia said:
"Huzza, soldiers of Christ,
cast away the works of darkness
and don the armour of light".
