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 [bad word] 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.
