#359: Where Charity and Love Prevail
The title is the English version of "Ubi caritas et amor," and this one also dates from the 9th century. This time it's the tenors who have a fairly repetitive part.
We also have the image of "holy fear"--a more common phrasing is "the fear of the Lord." Apparently it means something more like "standing in aw of the Lord, showing respect," but either nobody has found a better translation or they actually want the darker subtext.
