Lyrics

In dulci jubilo
In dulci jubilo let us our homage show;
Our heart's joy reclineth in praesepio
And like a bright star shineth, matris in gremio
Alpha es et o, alpha es et o

O jesu parvule! I yearn for thee alway!
Hear me, I beseech thee, o puer optime!
My prayer let it reach thee,/ o princeps gloriae!
Trahe me post te! trahe me post te!

O patris caritas, o nati lenitas!
Deeply were we stained per nostra crimina;
But thou hast for us gained coelorum gaudia
O that we were there! o that we were there!

Ubi sunt gaudia, if that they be not there?
There are angels singing - nova cantica
And there the bells are ringing in regis curia:
O that we were there, o that we were there

In dulci jubilo let us our homage show;
Our heart's joy reclineth in praesepio
And like a bright star shineth, matris in gremio
Alpha es et o, alpha es et o
