Eja Deo accinamus by Anonymous — Lyrics
1. Eja, Deo accinamus
Carmen eucharisticum,
Et Gonzaagae concinamus
Dignum laudis canticum!
Mundum, carnem superasti,
De inferno triumphasti,
Inclyte, inclyte,
Vistor tu clarissime!
2. Sive mundus et tenebat
Vanas per divitias,
Sive carnis commendabat
Sordidas delicias,
Semper victor evasisti,
Hoc te scuto protexisti:
Quid est hoc, quid est hoc
Ad aeterna gaudia!
