Dicite Virgini, canite martyri
Language: Latin
Dicite Virgini, canite martyri, Quam excelsum est nomen tuum, O beata Cecilia, Tu gloria domus Dei, tu laetitia, Quae sponsam Christo paras, respice nos. Adeste caelites plaudite, Psallite nobiscum Virgini, pangite melos. Nobiscum martyri alternate laudes, Citheris vestras iugite voces, Citheras nostris sociate cantibus. Laudate Ceciliam, in voce et organo.
