St Cecilia Prayer Card

My father-in-law has asked me to give this to someone named Cecilia. I like the rhyme.

To Saint Cecilia

O glorious saint, who chose to die 

instead of denying your King, 

we pray you please to help us 

as His fair praise we sing. 

We lift our hearts in joyous song 

to honor Him this way. 

And while we sing, remembering, 

to sing is to doubly pray.

At once in our hearts and in our tongues 

we offer double prayer 

sent heavenward on winged notes 

to praise God dwelling there. 

While in our hearts and tongues we try 

with song to praise God twice, 

we ask dear saint, to help us be 

united close to Christ!
