'Daham Sevana' Propaedeutic Seminary of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus - Official Anthem With Lyrics

In May 2016, Fr Cecil Joy Perera, the Rector of Daham Sevana Seminary, wrote the lyrics and composed the melody of the Daham Sevana Anthem, which begins with the two Latin words from Psalm 46,10. In fact, Cessate, Cognoscite, Be ye still, and know that I am God, is actually the Motto of this Seminary. Each time the seminarians sing this anthem they are reminded about the main purpose of their stay at Daham Sevana Seminary; to stop contemplatively and think about the calling they have received from God because this is their year of Discernment and Formation. The music direction and recording of the anthem were done by Mr Udara Fernando of Kadalana, Moratuwa, at his recording studio in Kadalana. Each year, we get that particular batch of seminarians to produce a video clip of their own for this anthem, which will remain a pleasant reserve of memories, which they could call back later in the future.
