In dulci jubilo, now sing with hearts aglow
Our delight and pleasure lies in praesepio
Like sunshine is our treasure Matris in gremio
Alpha est et O, Alpha est et O!
O Jesu parvule, for Thee I long alway
Comfort my hearts blindness, O puer optime
With all thy loving kindness, 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 for us has gained, Caelorum gaudia
That we were there, O that we were there!
Ubi sunt gaudia, In any place but there
There are angels singing, In Nova Cantica
And there the bells are ringing, In regis curia
O that we were there, O that we were there.
O, that we were there...
In dulci jubilo, now sing with hearts aglow
Our delight and pleasure lies in praesepio
Like sunshine is our treasure Matris in gremio
Alpha est et O, Alpha est et O!
O Jesu parvule, for Thee I long alway
Comfort my hearts blindness, O puer optime
With all thy loving kindness, 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 for us has gained, Caelorum gaudia
That we were there, O that we were there!
Ubi sunt gaudia, In any place but there
There are angels singing, In Nova Cantica
And there the bells are ringing, In regis curia
O that we were there, O that we were there.
O, that we were there...
