tee Ve INO KWA WOTE UPENDO (UBI CARITAS) SATB divisi, unaccompanied HL00144578 Reisenthel Wwwiss3 $2.45 @) WALTON Music IA PUBLICATIONS, INC, KWA WOTE UPENDO CROC TS)About the Work The values of charity and love resonate with every person — regardless of culture, ethnicity, or social class. ‘Kwa wote upendo is written as a celebration of these values, and is translated into three languages: the original Latin, English, and Swahili. The use of Swahili is meant to express the celebration and joy behind the words “Ubi Caritas et amor, ibi deus est (sote Upendo) ~ Where there is charity and love, God is there (Let us love).” The original Ubi Caritas text is believed to have come from very early Christian gatherings before the formalization of mass and was used to thank God while washing the feet of others, an act of respect, love, and charity. Kwa wote upendo is dedicated to Bob and Marge Klementowski, my late grandparents who inspired me through their faith, actions, and genuine love of the world and all of the people in it. | am incredibly humbled and thankful to Dr. Nance for helping Kwa wote upendo come to life. Latin, Swahili, English Pacem Domine, Dei gratias. Eripe animas (Deus lux mea), Dum hoc orbis mutat (Crux mihi ancora), Cum vos als dubitas (Credo Domina) Ego surge, Dei gratias. ‘Ambapo kuna upendo na imani, ‘Mungu huwepo. Upendo wa Kristo ume tu kutanisha sote pamoja. Tufurahi na tu mpe radi, sote Upendo! Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum. Etex corde diligamus nos sincere. Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Simul ergo cum jn unum congregamur: ‘Ne nos mente dividamur caveamus. Cossent iurgia maligna, cessent tes. Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus. (Furaha; Amina; 6 Kristo; Mungu Wetu;) Translation Peace of the Lord, thanks be to God. Save our souls (God is my light), When the world changes (The cross is my anchor), When others doubt you (Lord, | believe), | arise, thanks be to God. Where charity and love are, God is there. The love of Christ has gathered us into one. Rejoice, and please Him, let us lovel Let us fear, and let us love the living God, Let us love each other with sincere hearts. Where charity and love are, God is there. Simultaneously, therefore, we are gathered into one congregation: Lest we be divided in mind, let us beware. Let evil impulses stop, cease strfes. ‘And in the midst of it be Christ our Lord. (Joy; Amen; © Christ; Our God) And may we with the blessed see ‘And may we with the blessed see Christ our God, thy face in Glory, Christ our God, thy face in Glory, Consumed by the greatest joy, ‘Consumed by the greatest joy, Infinite life, hebu upendo! Infinite life, let us tovel Amina. Amen.
