Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text

Cecilia virgo gloriosa semper evangelium Christi
gerebat in pectore suo;
non diebus neque noctibus a colloquiis divinis
et oratione vacabat.

Dum aurora finem daret, Cecilia dixit:
Eya milites Christi,
abjicite opera tenebrarum
et induimini arma lucis.

English.png English translation

That glorious virgin Cecilia always carried
the gospel of Christ in her breast;
In neither day nor night did she cease
from communion with God or from prayer.

As dawn broke, Cecilia said:
"Huzza, soldiers of Christ,
Cast away the works of darkness
and wear the armour of light".
