Antiphon 8, Psalm Tone 6: Liturgical Text

WHERE CHAR- - || ity and | love | are | found, *
there | God | ev- - | er | is.

THE LOVE - || of Christ has joined us into one. Let us rejoice and be | glad | in | Him. *
Let us fear and let us love the Living God. Let us love one another in sincer- | i- | ty - | of | heart.

WHERE CHAR- - || ity and | love | are | found, *
there | God | ev- - | er | is.

WHEN, THERE- - || fore, we are joined together: Let us not be divided | in | spi- | rit. *
Let all malicious wrangling and contentions cease. And let Christ our God be in | the | midst - | of | us.

WHERE CHAR- - || ity and | love | are | found, *
there | God | ev- - | er | is.

SO MAY - || we with the saints see forever in glory the light of Your countenance, O | Christ | our | God. *
Joy that is infinite and undefil-ed forever and | ev- | er. - | A- | men.
