TEXT AND TRANSLATION

Karitas
habundat in omnia,
de imis excellentissima
super sidera
atque amantissima
in omnia,
quia summo regi osculum pacis
dedit.		 Divine Love
overflows into everything
raised high – highest – from the very depths
to surpass constellations, 
and tender – most tender –
toward all creation,
such that it bestows the kiss of peace
on the highest king.
