I	A
Cecilia whose exalted hymns	B
With joy and wonder fill the blest	C
In choirs of warbling seraphims	B
Known and distinguish'd fom the rest	C
Attend harmonious saint and see	B
Thy vocal sons of harmony	B
Attend harmonious saint and hear our prayers	B
Enliven all our earthly airs	B
and as thou sing'st thy God teach us to sing of thee	B
Tune every string and every tongue	D
Be thou the Muse and subject of our song	E
	-
II	A
Let all Cecilia's praise proclaim	F
Enploy the echo in her name	F
Hark how the flutes and trumpets raise	B
At bright Cecilia's name their lays	B
The organ labours in her praise	B
Cecilia's name does all our numbers grace	B
From every voice the tuneful accents fly	A
In soaring trebles now it rises high	A
And now it sinks and dwells upon the base	B
Cecilia's name through all the notes we sing	G
The work of every skilful tongue	D
The sound of every trembling string	G
The sound and triumph of our song	E
	-
III	A
For ever consecrate the day	H
To music and Cecilia	I
Music the greatest good that mortals know	J
And all of heaven we have below	J
Music can noble hints impart	K
Engender fury kindle love	L
With unsuspected eloquence can move	M
And manage all the man with secret art	K
When Orpheus strikes the trembling lyre	N
The streams stand still the stones admire	N
The listening savages advance	B
The world and lamb around him trip	O
The bears in aukward measures leap	P
And tigers mingle in the dance	B
The moving woods attended as he played	Q
And Rhodope was left without a shade	Q
	-
IV	M
Music religious heats inspires	B
It wakes the soul and lifts it high	M
And wings it with sublime desires	B
And fits it to bespeak the Deity	B
Th' Almighty listens to a tuneful tongue	D
And seems well pleas'd and courted with a song	E
Soft moving sounds and heavenly airs	B
Give forece to every word and recommend our prayers	B
When time itself shall be no more	R
And all things in confusion hurl'd	S
Music shall then exert its power	T
And sound survive the ruins of the world	S
Then saints and angels shall agree	B
In one eternal jubilee	B
All heaven shall echo with their hymns divine	U
And God himself with pleasure see	B
The whole creation in a chorus join	V
	-
C H O R U S	B
Consecrate the place and day	H
To music and Cecilia Let no rough winds approach nor dare	W
Invade the hallow'd bounds	B
Nor rudely shake the tuneful air	W
Nor spoil the fleeting sounds	B
Nor mournful sigh nor groan be heard	X
But gladness dwell on every tongue	D
Whilst all with voice and strings prepar'd	Y
Keep u the loud harmonious song	E
And imitate the blest above	M
In joy and harmony and love	M
