In dulci jubilo
From Oremus Hymnal
In dulci jubilo
Now sing with hearts aglow!
Our delight and pleasure
Lies in praesepio,
Like sunshine is our treasure
Matris in gremio.
Alpha es et O!
Alpha es et O!
O Jesu, parvule,
For thee I long alway;
Comfort in my heart's 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 stainèd
Per nostra crimina;
But thou for us hast gainèd
Coelorum gaudia.
O that we were there!
Ubi sunt gaudia
In any place but there?
There are angels singing
Nova cantica,
And there the bells are ringing
In Regis curia.
O that we were there!
