Saint Teresa Of Avila Lyrics

Griffith/Graham/Griffith

Saint Teresa, your patron child's 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?

And did you kiss her hand that took her soul

Back up to you ... my patron saint

Of harmony and vow

Help me in this stillness

Tell me the 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

Help me in this stillness

Tell me the things I need to know

How we loved your patron child

We say, so long ... and so long ago

And Saint Teresa

Can you speak to me at all

Ah, from here where will we go?

Saint Teresa

Back up to her patron saint

Beyond our wood those lights

Saint Teresa of Avila

Discalced de carmelites

Back up to her patron saint

And beyond our wood those lights

Saint Teresa of Avila

Discalced de carmelites

Saint Cecelia 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)

(...In Memory of Our Sister Teresa ... "We understand"...)
