Ubi caritas

[marnanel]

I was asked for a free translation of "Ubi caritas" (http://www0.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Ubi_caritas ):

As friendship fills our meeting-place,
Jesus is here;
he dwells in every friend's embrace,
each smile sincere,
rejoicing in the love we share.
Wherever love is, God is there.

As friendship fills our meeting-place
Jesus brings peace.
Divisions heal, and by his grace
Arguments cease.
Forgiven friends are one in prayer:
wherever love is, God is there.

As friendship fills our meeting-place,
Jesus our friend
will smile to see us face to face,
world without end,
and hold us in his loving care:
wherever love is, God is there.
