Lyrics - James Jirtle - Ubi Caritas 

 

2. Ubi Caritas 
Gregorian chant 
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. 
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor. 
Exsultemus, et in ipso jucundemur. 
Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum. 
Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero. 
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. 
Simul ergo cum in unum congregamur: 
Ne nos mente dividamur caveamus. 
Cessent jurgia maligna, cessent lites. 
Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus. 
Ubi caritas et amor, Dues ibi est. 
Simul quoque cum beatis videamus. 
Glorianter vultum tuam, Christe Deus: 
Gaudium, quod est immensum, atque probum. 
Saecula per infinita saeculorum. Amen. 

Where charity and love are, God is there. 
The love of Christ hath brought us together. 
Let us rejoice and let us be glad in that love itself. 
Let us hear and love the living God. 
And let us love from a pure heart. 
Where charity and love are, God is there. 
So, whenever we are united as one flock: 
Let us take care not to be divided in purpose. 
May rancorous quarreling and controversy cease. 
And in our midst be Christ our God. 
Where charity and love are, God is there. 
May we too, in glory with thy saints 
see thy face, O Christ, our God: 
A joy that is unbounded, and good. 
World without end. Amen.
