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.
