The Choir of King's College, Cambridge, sing Maurice Durufle's famous setting of 'Ubi Caritas' at the televised version of the Carols from Kings.
--------------------------------------------
English translation from Latin: "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.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
As we are gathered into one body,
Beware, lest we be divided in mind.
Let evil impulses stop, let controversy cease,
And may Christ our God be in our midst.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
And may we with the saints also, "
It's a serious world. Let's wind back the clock and be reminded of the importance of responding to joyous things also.
