Audrey Assad's rendition of "Ubi Caritas" is a serene, contemplative hymn based on the ancient Latin text traditionally sung during the Maundy Thursday liturgy. The song emphasizes the presence of God wherever love and charity abound, and it calls believers to rejoice, fear, and love the living God with sincere hearts. It also encourages unity among Christians, urging them to avoid division and strife, and to let Christ dwell in their midst. The final verse looks forward to seeing Christ's glorious face with the blessed, experiencing infinite joy. Assad's gentle, ethereal interpretation enhances the prayerful, meditative quality of the piece, making it a moving reflection on love, unity, and eternal hope.

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.
