Saint teresa, your patron childs come home
|
Were you there to greet her?
|
Did your angels know her songs?
|
And all of 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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Help me in this stillness
|
Tell me things I need to know
|
How we loved your patron child
|
We say, so long... and so along 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 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
|
Descalced De Carmelites
|
Saint Cecila to Saint Teresa,
|
"Your patron child is home"
|
(There are lights beyond these woods)
|
Repeat Saint Teresa of Avila...
|
Discalced De Carmelites
|
(lights)
