Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor. Exultemus, et in ipso iucundemur. 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 iurgia maligna, cessent lites. Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus. Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Simul quoque cum beatis videamus, Glorianter vultum tuum, Christe Deus: Gaudium quod est immensum, atque probum, Saecula per infinita saeculorum. Amen.

Waar goedheid en liefde heersen, daar is God. De liefde van Christus heeft ons bijeengebracht. Laten wij juichen en daarvan genieten. Laten wij vrezen en liefhebben de levende God. En met een oprecht hart elkaar beminnen. Waar goedheid en liefde heersen, daar is God. Laten wij dus, wanneer wij samenkomen, Oppassen dat wij niet verdeeld van geest worden. Laat ophouden de boze verwijten, laat ophouden de twisten, En dat in ons midden zij Christus God. Waar goedheid en liefde heersen, daar is God. Mogen ook wij met de gelukzaligen In heerlijkheid uw gelaat zien, Christus God, Wat een vreugde is, onmetelijk en onverwoestbaar, In de eindeloze eeuwen der eeuwen. Amen
