Ola Gjeilo: Ubi Caritas
Phoenix Chorale
This uses only a portion of the full “Ubi Caritas”:
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.
Exultemus, et in ipso jucundemur.
Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum.
Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
Christ’s love has gathered us into one.
Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him.
Let us fear, and let us love the living God.
And may we love each other with a sincere heart.

Orlando Gibbons: Drop, Drop Slow Tears
Banchieri Singers
I should give credit, too, to the poet:
Phineas Fletcher (1580–1650)
A Litany
DROP, drop, slow tears,
And bathe those beauteous feet
Which brought from Heaven
The news and Prince of Peace:
Cease not, wet eyes, 5
His mercy to entreat;
To cry for vengeance
Sin doth never cease.
In your deep floods
Drown all my faults and fears; 10
Nor let His eye
See sin, but through my tears.
