Cantántibus órganis
  Cæcília Dómino decantabát dicens:
Fiat cor meum immaculatum
ut non confundar,
     Alleluia Alleluia.

  Dum aurora finem daret,
  Cæcília exclamávit dicens:
Eia mílites Christi,
abícite opera tenebrárum
et (lux!) induímini arma lucis.


 Peace, while the little ones sleep
the parents are counting sheep
 they lose track of all the time
laden treasures sought to keep

 Peace while dreams escape the mind
and worries their neighbors find
 not ev'rything said is true
and it might all work out fine

 Peace while the pigeons start to coo
and eyes flash between us two
 and ev'ry bump, jump, or leap
of this heart is love for you.
