Cantantibus organis, Caecilia virgo in corde suo soli Domino decantabat, dicens:
Fiat Domine cor meum et corpus meum immaculatum, ut non confundar.

While playing the organ, the virgin Cecilia sang in her heart to the Lord alone, saying:
Lord, let my heart and my body be without blemish, so as not to be confounded.
