Lyrics: Anon

Ave virgo gloriosa, Cecilia generosa,
Paradisi vernans rosa, castitatis lilium,
quae sponsum tuum Valerianum
ad fidem convertisti:
Deprecare Jesum Christum,
qui te sibi in sponsam elegit:
ut peccata deleat, pacem tribuat,
morbos auferat, benigne aspiret,
tandemque vitam donet aeternam.

Hail esteemed virgin, noble Cecilia,
flourishing rose of Eden and lily of purity;
thou who turned thy husband Valerian
towards the faith:
Intercede with Jesus Christ
to choose you as his own helpmeet:
so that he might wipe sins away, grant peace,
remove sickness, breathe on us bounteously,
and finally might bestow life everlasting.
