Lyrics:

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. 
Amen.

English translation:
Where true love and charity are found, God is always there.

Since the love of Christ has brought us all together,
Let us all rejoice and be glad, now and always.
Let every one love the Lord God, the living God;
And with sincere hearts let us love each other now.

Where true love and charity are found, God is always there.  Amen.

Notes: SATB with Tenor and Bass divisi.
