Welcome to all the Pleasures that delight, of ev’ry Sense, the grateful Appetite. Hail great Assembly of Apollo’s Race, Hail to this happy place, this Musical Assembly, that seems to be the Ark of Universal Harmony. Here the Deities approve, The God of Music, and of Love; All the Talents they have lent you, All the Blessings they have sent you; pleas’d to see what they bestow, live and thrive so well below. While Joys Celestial their bright Souls invade to find what great improvement you have made. Then lift up your Voices, ye Organs of Nature, those Charms to the troubled and amorous Creature. The Pow’r shall divert us a pleasanter way, for sorrow and grief find from Music relief, and Love its soft Charms must obey. Beauty thou Scene of Love, and Virtue, thou innocent Fire, made by the Powers above to temper the heat of Desire, Music that Fancy employs in Raptures of innocent Flame, we offer with Lute and with Voice to Cecilia, Cecilia’s bright Name. In a Consort of Voices while Instruments play, with Music we celebrate this Holy day; Iô Cecilia, Cecilia, in a Consort of Voices we'll sing. Christopher Fishburn
