Traditional: In dulci jubilo (Arr. Pearsall)

In dulci jubilo
Let us our homage shew
Our heart's joy reclineth
In praesepio
And like a bright star shineth
Matris in gremio
Alpha es et O!

O Jesu parvule
I yearn for thee alway!
Hear me, I beseech thee
O Puer optime!
My praying let it reach thee
O Princeps gloriae!
Trahe me post te!

O Patris caritas
O Nati lenitas!
Deeply were we stained
Per nostra crimina
But thou for us hast gained
Coelorum gaudia
O that we were there!

Ubi sunt gaudia
Where, if that they be not there?
There are angels singing
Nova cantica
There the bells are ringing
In Regis curia
O that we were there!
