Ubi Caritas
Ubi caritas
English translation:
Where there is true charity, God is there.
V1. The love of Christ has gathered us into one.
Let us exult and rejoice in this.
Let us fear and love the living God.
And from a sincere heart, let us love one another.
Where there is true charity, God is there.
V2. Therefore, when we gather as one,
Let us beware that we are not divided in mind.
Let malicious quarrels end; let contentions cease.
And may Christ our God be in the midst of us.
Where there is true charity, God is there.
V3. And in company with the blessed
May we see your face, in glory,
Pure and unbounded joy,
For ages without end. Amen.
