\"Artemisia<\/a>1. O God of tune and rhyme,
\nWhose song the world has made,
\nWhose Word before all time
\nThe universe displayed:
\nWe praise in song this woman\u2019s fame,
\nWho, in the face of death and shame,
\nGave glory to her Savior\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

2. O Christ, who summoned all
\nTo follow in your way,
\nThat we might bear our cross
\nAnd live in endless day:
\nWe thank you for Cecilia\u2019s stand;
\nAnd trusting in your loving hand,
\nWe too will sin and death withstand.<\/p>\n

3. O Spirit, Lord of life,
\nWhose gifts all faith maintain,
\nYour leading through earth\u2019s strife
\nLet us your heav\u2019n attain.
\nGrant us firm faith that, as did she,
\nWe follow you, O Wind most free,
\nThat Christians true we e\u2019er may be.<\/p>\n

4. O Trinity, One God,
\nO Source of music\u2019s art,
\nGuide us through ways untrod
\nUntil, within your heart,
\nWith all your saints and angels\u2019 throng
\nWe live with you, and there prolong
\nOur endless alleluia song.<\/p>\n
