Saint Teresa of Avila |
| Saint Teresa, your patron child’s come home |
| Were you there to greet her? |
| Did your angels know her songs? |
| And all her sorrows |
| Did you lift them from her brow? |
| Did you kiss her hand that took her soul |
| Back up to you |
| Our Patron saint of harmony and vow |
| Help me in this stillness |
| Tell me things I need to know |
| How we loved your patron child |
| We say, so long and so long ago |
| Saint Teresa |
| Can you speak to me at all |
| Ah, from here where will we go? |
| Saint Teresa |
| Saint Teresa, she was our sister of arms |
| Gone now the trio |
| To Our Lady, Kate and John |
| And fare to fare |
| Of the tears that cannot fall |
| We send this melody please help her sing along |
| Back up to you |
| Our Patron saint of harmony and song |
| Back up to her Patron saint |
| Beyond our wood those lights |
| Saint Teresa of Avila |
| Discalced de Carmelites |
| Back up to her Patron saint |
| Beyond our wood those lights |
| Saint Teresa of Avila |
| Discalced de Carmelites |
| Saint Cecilia to Saint Teresa |
| «Your patron child is home» |
| (There are lights beyond our woods) |
| Saint Teresa of Avila |
| Discalced de Carmelites |
| (Lights) |
| Saint Teresa of Avila |
| Discalced de Carmelites |
| (Lights) |
