Cantate Domino canticum novum,
cantate et benedicite nomini eius,
quia mirabilia fecit.
Cantate et exultate et psallite
in cithara et voce psalmi,
quia mirabilia fecit.
Sing to the Lord a new song,
sing and praise His name,
for He has done marvellous things.
Sing and rejoice and give praise
in songs with the harp and the voice,
for He has done marvelous things.

Entreat me not to leave you,
Nor to turn back from following after you.
For where you go, I will go,
And where you live, I will live;
Your people shall be my people,
And your God, my God.
Where you die, I will die
And there will I be buried.
The Lord do so to me, and more also,
If ought but death part you and me.

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.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
Love of Christ has gathered us into one.
Let us rejoice in Him and be glad.
Let us fear, and let us love the living God.
And from a sincere heart let us love one another.

Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
