MUSIC TO HEAV'N AND HER WE OWE


Your voices tune, and raise them high,
Till they echo from the vaulted sky
the blest Cecilia's name.

Music to heav'n and her we owe,
The greatest blessing that's below;
Sound loudly then her fame!

Let's imitate her notes above,
And may this evening ever prove
Sacred to harmony, sacred to love.
