Latin/Latine From the Abbey of Solesmes' Liber Cantualis |
English/Anglica (A loose translation of mine -- the reader can find another, somewhat more exact translation, based on a slightly different chorus, at Thesaurus Precum Latinarum) |
1. Ubi
caritas est vera, Deus ibi est. Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor. Exsultemus, et in ipso iucundemur. Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum. Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero. |
1.
Wherever we find true charity, God is
there. Christ's love has gathered us into one: let us rejoice, and take delight in him; let us fear, and let us love the living God; And with a sincere heart let us commit to him. |
2. Ubi
caritas est vera, Deus ibi est. Simul ergo cum in unum congregamur: Ne nos mente dividamur, caveamus. Cessent iurgia maligna, cessent lites. Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus. |
2.
Wherever we find true charity, God is there. So let us gather as one: yet beware, lest our minds be divided: may our malicious quarrels cease, may we end our disputes, that Christ our God may remain in our midst. |
3. Ubi
caritas est vera, Deus ibi est. Simul quoque cum beatis videamus, Glorianter vultum tuum, Christe Deus: Gaudium quod est immensum, atque probum, Saecula per infinita saeculorum. |
3.
Wherever we find true charity, God is there. May we, along with the blessed, see your glorious face, O Christ our God: joy that is boundless and good, through all the infinite ages. |
