Cantantibus organis
Caecilia virgo in corde suo
soli domino decantabat dicens:
'Fiat domine cor meum et corpus meum
immaculatum ut non confundar.'

English.png English translation
by Mick Swithinbank

While the musicians played,
Cecilia the virgin sang in her heart
only to the Lord, saying:
'Lord, let my heart and body
remain without stain, that I be not put to shame.'
